Do I need to hold my urine for a vaginal ultrasound?

I believe that most women are very concerned about the health of their lower body. Therefore, when these women suspect any gynecological diseases in their lower body, they will go to the hospital for corresponding examinations in time. Among them, the uterine cavity examination is also a routine examination item, which can effectively detect whether there are lesions in the vagina and uterus. Do I need to hold my urine before doing a vaginal ultrasound?

There is no need to hold your urine when doing a transvaginal ultrasound. Because vaginal B-ultrasound is used for gynecological examinations, the outside of the vaginal probe needs to be directly wrapped with a sterile protective film, and then gradually extended into the uterine cavity through the vagina and cervix to examine the cervix, endometrium and uterine wall, fallopian tubes, ovaries, pelvic cavity, etc. This can display the entire condition of gynecological organs very intuitively and clearly, and has a very high resolution and diagnosis rate for gynecological diseases. Vaginal ultrasound must be performed during the non-menstrual period, and only when examining gynecological diseases through abdominal ultrasound is it necessary to hold urine and fill the bladder before examination.

First of all, vaginal ultrasound examination can detect pelvic inflammatory disease. The occurrence of pelvic inflammatory disease has a great impact on the patient's body and life. Pelvic inflammatory disease cannot be judged only by observation, smell, questioning and palpation. Although pelvic inflammatory disease is a common gynecological disease, it also requires the use of medical equipment for in-depth examination before it can be confirmed. Therefore, when you feel unwell and suspect that you have pelvic inflammatory disease, you should go to a regular hospital for a comprehensive examination in time.

With the continuous development of medicine, many hospitals can now perform vaginal ultrasound examinations, which is a color ultrasound examination of the vagina. It mainly uses an ultrasonic test on the vaginal area, which is similar to the abdominal B-ultrasound examination. However, vaginal ultrasound examination does not require the patient to hold urine. The uterus, pelvic cavity and appendages can be observed more clearly. Compared with the abdominal B-ultrasound examination, the diagnosis rate of pelvic inflammatory disease will be higher. Therefore, vaginal ultrasound can detect pelvic inflammatory disease more accurately than B-ultrasound.
