Do I need to hold my urine during pregnancy ultrasound?

B-ultrasound during pregnancy can check the status and changes of the fetus during pregnancy, and the growth environment and development level of the fetus can also be determined through B-ultrasound irradiation. Pregnant women need to hold their urine before doing B-ultrasound, so that the B-ultrasound can be clearer. When the pregnant woman's bladder is full, the B-ultrasound will be clearer. Therefore, pregnant women need to hold their urine before doing B-ultrasound. Regular B-ultrasound examinations have certain benefits.

Do I need to hold my urine when doing ultrasound during pregnancy?

When conducting gynecological or early pregnancy (less than 3 months) obstetric ultrasound examinations, you must hold your urine! This is because when viewed from the front of the human body, the uterus and its appendages are located behind the bladder. Only when the bladder is full can the ultrasound pass through the good "sound-transmitting window" formed by the bladder and observe the uterus, appendages and embryo behind the bladder. If an ultrasound examination is performed when the bladder is not full, the gas in the bladder and the gas in the uterus may overlap, leading to misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis.

Does B-ultrasound have any effect on the fetus?

Whether ultrasound examination is harmful depends on the dose of ultrasound. The upper limit of ultrasound dose within the safe range is called the threshold. When the dose of ultrasound used is less than the threshold, it is harmless. On the contrary, when it is greater than the threshold, harmful effects or damage may occur. Under normal circumstances, ultrasound examination is harmless.

The normal situation mentioned here refers to the situation in a regular hospital, under the operation of a strictly professionally trained doctor or technician, the power and irradiation time of the ultrasound instrument will be controlled within a safe range and will not cause harm to the human body or the fetus.

After a woman becomes pregnant, she must pay special attention to her body and go to the hospital for prenatal checkups on time. I have heard from many friends that they need to hold their urine during prenatal checkups. In fact, whether they need to hold their urine depends on the situation. If the pregnancy has not been long, within six weeks, they need to hold their urine for an ultrasound, but when they reach 12 weeks, they do not need to hold their urine for an ultrasound because the uterus is larger at this time and the examination can be done directly on the abdominal wall. In the early stages of pregnancy, especially within one month, pregnant women do need to hold their urine, but after 12 weeks, they do not need to hold their urine. You can do it directly without fasting.

Although you don't need to hold your urine after 12 weeks of pregnancy, it is best for pregnant women to fast before the examination, because blood tests are also required. Eating something will have a certain impact on certain values. Pregnant women can wait until the blood is drawn before eating something. In fact, the gestational sac is already very large at 12 weeks of pregnancy, and you don't need to hold your urine to fill the bladder to see the size of the gestational sac. So let me tell you here, if you do an ultrasound 12 weeks after pregnancy, you don't need to hold your urine. A woman's personality and mood will also change greatly after pregnancy, but you must relax.

Pregnancy is a very important thing for women. After becoming pregnant, women must go for prenatal check-ups on time. At this time, it is very necessary to eat some nutritious products, eat more fish, shrimp, eggs, more fresh fruits and vegetables, and eat less fried and pickled foods. You must pay attention to your body at ordinary times. If you have a headache or fever, don't take medicine casually, and be sure to follow the doctor's advice and guidance.
