Introduction
For individuals who cannot hold their urine, a transvaginal ultrasound is an option, as this method generally does not require bladder filling. If this examination is needed, it is recommended to go to a正规 hospital and undergo the procedure under the guidance of a qualified physician to ensure safety. If any abnormalities are detected during the examination, prompt medical consultation is advised, and appropriate treatment should be undertaken under a doctor's supervision.
Generally, if you cannot hold your urine, a transvaginal ultrasound can be chosen, as this method usually does not require bladder filling. The specific procedure is as follows:
1. Before the examination, the patient should empty the bladder to facilitate the procedure.
2. The patient lies in the lithotomy position on the examination table, with the genital area fully exposed.
3. The operator applies coupling gel to the surface of the ultrasound probe and covers it with a disposable condom.
4. The ultrasound probe is gently inserted into the patient's vagina, then rotated and angled to allow comprehensive observation.
5. After the examination, the probe is withdrawn, and the patient is instructed to dress.
If this examination is needed, it is recommended to go to a正规 hospital and undergo the procedure under the guidance of a qualified physician to ensure safety. If any abnormalities are detected, prompt medical consultation is advised, along with appropriate treatment as directed by a doctor.
