Does it matter if I do ultrasound during menstruation?

Women should try to avoid getting sick during their menstrual period, because the body's resistance is particularly poor during menstruation. If they need to be examined after being sick, many examinations have radiation, especially for uterine examinations. During menstruation, the condition of the female uterus cannot be clearly seen. So what are the effects of B-ultrasound during menstruation on the body?

If you do an ultrasound during menstruation to observe the condition of the endometrium, the blood accumulation in the uterine cavity will affect the visualization. If you only want to observe the ovaries and the surface of the uterus, there will be no impact. If it is not an emergency and the B-ultrasound is not performed during the menstrual period, missed diagnosis or unclear diagnosis may occur. Preparation before B-ultrasound examination:

1. Don’t eat foods that easily produce gas. Foods such as milk and sweet potatoes easily produce gas after consumption, and these gases will hinder the penetration of ultrasound, resulting in unclear imaging of the organs being examined.

2. Hold urine or urinate in advance based on actual examination.

3. Keep your clothes loose and easy to take off. Loose clothing can save time during examination and also help patients relax.

Wait for the menstrual period to end and go for a check-up 3 to 5 days later. Generally, ultrasound examinations are not done during menstruation. Lower abdominal distension and pain is probably caused by menstruation. In the near future, you should keep warm and avoid catching cold. Try not to eat spicy or irritating foods and maintain a good mood.

There is no effect of doing abdominal B-ultrasound during menstruation. The main thing is to avoid doing vaginal ultrasound during menstruation. Under normal circumstances, it is more accurate to have an ultrasound examination within 3-7 days after the menstrual period. If the ultrasound is performed during menstruation, the blood in the uterine cavity will accumulate, and the clarity of the examination may be poor, which may affect the examination results.
