How do I prepare for an abdominal ultrasound?
On the day of the examination you must fast – do not eat for at least 6 hours beforehand. It is recommended to drink 2–3 glasses of water before the examination so that the bladder is full. Fasting reduces the amount of gas in the digestive tract, and a full bladder improves the visibility of the lower abdominal organs.
How long does an abdominal ultrasound take?
The examination takes approximately 15–30 minutes, depending on the scope of the examination and anatomical characteristics. You receive the report and explanation of results immediately after the examination.
Is an abdominal ultrasound painful?
