How to Prepare for Your Ultrasound Appointment

Preparing correctly for your ultrasound can help the sonographer obtain the images needed for your examination.

Some abdominal examinations require fasting, while certain pelvic or urinary examinations require a full bladder. Other ultrasound studies may need little or no special preparation.

Wear comfortable clothing, follow the instructions provided for your specific examination, and have any necessary medical documentation available.

Do not fast, change medications, or significantly increase your fluid intake unless instructed by your healthcare provider or imaging team.

Wecare Ultrasounds can provide examination-specific preparation instructions when your appointment is arranged.
