How to prepare for an ultrasound
There are no appointments for scans. We follow a first come first served system.
Patients are advised to carry all the previous ultrasound reports when they come for the scan.
ABDOMEN SCANS :
You need to come on an empty stomach preferably 8 – 10 hours fasting overnight especially for gall bladder scans. You should also come on a full bladder. You can drink water and coconut water.
PELVIC SCANS
You need to come on a full bladder . Empty stomach is not necessary.
If it is a transvaginal scan ( TVS ) you need to empty your bladder
PREGNANCY SCANS :
A pregnancy scan may take anywhere between 10 minutes – 30 minutes. In certain cases the scan may have to be repeated at intervals especially if the fetus is not in the right position, It may rarely be necessary to be call you back on another day if the scan is suboptimal.
For pregnancy scans it is preferable to come on full bladder, fasting is not necessary.
FOLLICULAR SCANS
All follicular scans are done transvaginally, hence your bladder needs to be empty.

How is an ultrasound is performed?
A water based gel is applied to the skin which helps transmit the sound waves. Depending on the area being examined, you may need to change positions. After the procedure is over, the gel will be cleaned off of your skin.
