Preparation
PELVIC ULTRASOUND
You can eat and drink normally.
An hour before the exam, drink three glasses of water in order to fill your bladder. Generally, this amount should be sufficient so that your bladder is full when we perform the ultrasound exam, so do not urinate in the meantime.
ABDOMINAL ULTRASOUND OR HEPATIC DOPPLER
Fasting state five hours before the exam (no drinking, no eating, smoking or chewing).
FOR OTHER ULTRASOUNDS
No preparation required.
