You can take ultrasound during menstruation. Here is the correct way to do it.

Many women worry about the impact on B-ultrasound examinations during menstruation. Here we clearly tell you that menstruation does not affect normal B-ultrasound examinations, but you need to hold your urine before the B-ultrasound as usual, which will not affect the examination results.

1. I am having my period now. Can I have an ultrasound examination?

Hello, in your case, you can have a B-ultrasound examination, it will not affect your menstrual period.

Suggestions: It is recommended not to eat raw or cold food, not to eat irritating food, and not to catch a cold before and after menstruation.

2. Hello, you can also have an abdominal B-ultrasound examination during menstruation, as long as it is not a vaginal ultrasound examination.

Suggestions: During menstruation, you need to pay attention to rest, strengthen nutrition, eat a light diet, and pay attention to follow-up if you feel uncomfortable. I wish you good health.

3. You can do abdominal B-ultrasound during menstruation, but you have to hold your urine and the diagnosis is not very accurate. It is best to do a six-item hormone test using electrochemiluminescence immunoassay three to five days after the menstruation ends.

4. Hello, you can have an ultrasound during menstruation, but it is recommended to do it after you are clean.

Guidance:

The endometrium itself will also show signs of inflammation during menstruation, so it will be more accurate to check after it is clean.

5. In this case, consider not going to the hospital for an ultrasound.

Guidance:

It is recommended to use condoms during sexual intercourse, avoid having sex too frequently, pay attention to genital cleanliness, drink plenty of water, and avoid spicy and greasy food. I wish you a speedy recovery!

6. In addition, the following points should be noted when doing B-ultrasound examination:

1. When detecting deep wastes that are easily disturbed by gastrointestinal gas, fasting examination or more stringent intestinal preparation is required. For example, if you are going to detect the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas in the abdominal cavity, it is best to abstain from milk, soy products, sugars, and other foods that are easily fermented and produce gas for 3 days before the examination. You should eat a light meal the night before the examination, and you should fast and avoid drinking water on the day of the examination.

2. When checking your heart, you should take off your shoes and lie flat on the examination bed after a short rest. Unbutton your shirt to expose your chest for the doctor to check.

3. When examining the uterus and its appendages, bladder, prostate and other organs in the pelvic cavity, you need to retain bladder urine before the examination. You can drink about 1000 ml of boiled water 2 hours before the examination. Do not urinate 2-4 hours before the examination.

4. If the patient needs to undergo gastrointestinal and biliary X-ray angiography at the same time, ultrasound examination should be performed before X-ray angiography, or 3 days after the above angiography.

5. When doing B-ultrasound examination of the urinary system, especially B-ultrasound examination of the ureters and bladder, you should drink 400-600 ml of warm water 1-2 hours before the examination and wait until the bladder is full before the examination. If the patient needs to undergo digestive and urinary examinations at the same time, it is best not to urinate in the morning on the day of the examination, so that the bladder can be filled without drinking water.
