Ultrasound of the bladder

Why Is Bladder Ultrasound Important?

Ultrasound allows for early detection of potential conditions and helps prevent serious complications. It is often used as a preventive screening tool as well.

Bladder ultrasound helps detect:

• Structural abnormalities
• Inflammatory changes
• Stones or tumors
• Bladder wall damage
• Fluid content abnormalities (such as pus in the urine)

How to Prepare for a Bladder Ultrasound

Preparation is simple but essential for accurate results:

• Drink 2 liters of fluid (water, tea, juice, or compote — non-carbonated) 1.5 to 2 hours before the procedure.
• The goal is to fill the bladder, which enhances image clarity and diagnostic precision.
• Alternatively, a physiological method can be used: refrain from urinating for 5–6 hours before the test.

For Transrectal Exams (Prostate & Bladder in Men)

• Follow the same fluid intake steps
• Additionally, administer a cleansing enema a few hours before the exam

How the Procedure Works

When you arrive:

• You’ll lie on your back in the ultrasound room
• The specialist will examine your bladder and assess key parameters such as:
  • Shape (can become asymmetrical with disease)
  • Size (small with fibrosis or cystitis; enlarged with stones or adenomas)
  • Wall contours
  • Trauma or lesions
  • Tumors
  • Contents (e.g. urine, pus)

After the scan, the specialist will provide a detailed report, which your doctor will use to make an accurate diagnosis and recommend appropriate treatment.
