Which type of pelvic ultrasound am I getting?!


Question: Which type of pelvic ultrasound am I getting!?
How do i know if it is external or internal!?!? I was told to drink 32 oz!. of water beforehand if this helps!. I'm just trying to mentally prepare for this and i am super hoping that this is an "external" type!

ThanksWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Not to worry, this is definitely an external ultrasound!. You don't need a full bladder with an internal ultrasound If you were to ask me my opinion, I think internal are a lot easier!. You'll have a full bladder and a wand pressing down on top of it to take the ultrasound images!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

if they told u to drink 32 oz!. of water then u are more than likely getting an external exam which is the normal one with the gel on the belly and the machine just rubbed across ur stomach but if its and internal exam u have to empty ur bladder, (so they probably wouldnt have u drinking all that water just to empty it back out), and they put gel on this stick tube thing and insert it in ur vagina and they move it around to take a look in there it kinda hurts but its not too bad!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
