Preparing for Your Ultrasound

Preparation depends on the type of ultrasound you're having. For abdominal ultrasounds, you may need to fast for 8-12 hours beforehand. For pelvic ultrasounds, you may need a full bladder. Your doctor will provide specific instructions when ordering the test.

What to Expect During the Procedure:

  • You'll lie on an examination table
  • A clear gel will be applied to your skin to help transmit the sound waves
  • The technologist will move a transducer over the area being examined
  • You may be asked to change positions or hold your breath briefly
  • The procedure is painless and typically takes 30-60 minutes
