Ultrasonography (USG) of the lower abdomen is a procedure in which high-frequency sound waves scan the body's internal organs located in the lower abdomen, including the pelvic cavity and reproductive system.
It is frequently used to determine the cause of unexplained pelvic pain, oedema, abnormal bleeding, or infection in the pelvis. It is performed on pregnant women to visualize and track the development of the foetus.
If you eat something within 6 hours of your test, the ultrasound images of your gallbladder may not look normal. You may drink clear liquids such as black coffee, tea, and water during your fast. Nothing with fat or sugar should be consumed.
A trained medical professional (sonographer) applies a special gel to your belly for an abdominal ultrasound test. After that, the sonographer moves the probe over the gel. The probe's sound waves pass through your skin and bounce back from soft tissues (such as organs).
There is no need for preparation. Ultrasound is considered a safe method because it does not use ionising radiation. It also allows for a clear view of soft tissues that are not visible on x-ray images.
