What are some tips for holding urine during B-ultrasound?

Usually when doing a gynecological examination, the doctor will usually ask the patient to do a B-ultrasound, because the B-ultrasound examination is very widely used, and before the B-ultrasound, the doctor will ask the patient to make some preparations, such as not eating before the examination, and needing to hold urine before the examination, but holding urine is really uncomfortable. I believe many people have the experience of holding urine to collapse, so are there any tips for holding urine?

1. Why do you need to hold your urine before doing a gynecological B-ultrasound?

This is because the position of the uterus is somewhat special. Generally, the uterus of women who have not become pregnant is located in the center of the true pelvis, 7~8cm long, 4~5cm wide, and up to 2~3cm thick. You should know that in addition to the uterus, there are many other organs in the lower abdomen, such as long tubes, bladder, etc. Also because there are many other organs around this location, it is easy to be disturbed during the B-ultrasound, causing the image to become blurred.

2. Do I need to hold my urine for all gynecological B-ultrasounds?

No, there is a type of gynecological B-ultrasound examination that does not require holding urine. That is when a woman is pregnant for more than 3 months and has a B-ultrasound examination, she does not need to hold urine. Of course, more often gynecologists will recommend women to undergo vaginal ultrasound examinations. So under what circumstances should we choose B-ultrasound examinations? That is women with no sexual history and women in special circumstances such as vaginal bleeding who cannot undergo vaginal ultrasound examinations.

3. There are also some tips for women to hold urine

1. Some women try hard to hold their urine by drinking boiled water, but this method makes the bladder fill relatively slowly and the waiting time is also relatively long. Therefore, women who want to hold their urine can choose sweet or caffeinated beverages such as juice, tea, and coffee. These two have a diuretic effect. However, there is a small prerequisite, that is, this test does not require you to fast or clearly state that you cannot drink beverages such as coffee and juice.

2. Some women have a weak ability to hold urine. Sometimes you will hear the doctor tell them to drink more water if they cannot hold urine enough. Or some people hold urine too much and the doctor recommends reducing it and then checking again. Therefore, it is not the case that the more a woman holds her urine, the better. It should be moderate, so that she feels the urge to urinate but does not feel unbearable when she touches her lower abdomen.
