HEYA!!!


HERE IS YOUR ANSWER,


> When you drink 2–3 glasses of water & wait for at least 20 minutes, your urinary bladder becomes full & the pelvic structures are easily seen on abdominal ultrasound.

> Another way to see pelvic structures is to do the ultrasound by the vaginal route in females. It gives better images as compared to abdominal.

> Thus it is advisable to drink water before ultrasound scanning.


HOPE IT HELPS YOU,
THANK YOU.☺️☺️

jyotishmayBarman: Doctor said we are always drink 10 liter water...
PIYUSH2202: Brother this question doesn't ask for the amount of water which we should drink daily......she is asking for the amount of water we should drink before going for the ultrasound scanning.

You need to do that for a pelvic ultrasound ( for uterus, ovaries, prostate etc.) 
Ultrasound works by means of sound waves which require a medium to propagate. Water serves as a good medium.
The pelvic organs are in close proximity of the urinary bladder.
Drinking water fills up the bladder, this way it is delineated better & the surrounding structures can be visualized more clearly. With water, bladder appears as a separate black structure & a medium is created for clear visualization of the surrounding structures
