Answers:
During an ultrasound exam, you lie on an examination table!. A small amount of warm gel is applied to your skin!. The gel helps eliminate the formation of air pockets between the transducer and your body!. The sonographer presses the transducer against your skin over the area of your body being examined, moving from one area to another as necessary!.
Ultrasound usually is a painless procedure!. However, you may experience some discomfort as the sonographer guides the transducer over your body, especially if you're required to have a full bladder!. A typical ultrasound exam takes from 30 minutes to an hour!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Okay, you're going to have to pee REALLY BAD!. They expect you to drink A LOT of water before you get the ultrasound!. When you start to have it they're going to put a coldish liquid on your stomach or on the machine!. They'll gently press down on whatever part they're checking, and it takes longer if you laugh or you talk or move!. It's not too bad, actually!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
