Transvaginal ultrasound?

2011-09-09 10:33 am
Well I'm going in for a trans-vaginal ultrasound, and that is the one inside of you, right?

Well they told me to fill up bladder, and I keep reading around and they say that's because they might do an abdominal ultrasound beforehand and it makes things more clear with full bladder and then let you empty out bladder then do the vaginal one after.

Well I got a call today confirming the preparation for appointment like when to drink and how much, and they said if I don't have a full bladder, then they have to reschedule. This was over voicemail(I missed the call).

But why would they have to reschedule the whole thing? I'm going in mostly for a vaginal ultrasound, it's to check my ovaries btw.

It's just confusing, like they can't do a vaginal if bladder full, right? That'd hurt a lot, and they won't just do an abdominal one either since it's for a trans-vaginal they can't just turn me away because they can't do abdominal.

Am I missing something here? I sure do NOT want to have a full bladder AND something in me.

Also, how big is the thing they stick in you and how far do they stick it in(sorry if that sounds gross, I've never had this before).
更新1:

I'm also 5 feet and weight 101, so I'm skinny so it can't be THAT bad if I'm not full all the way.

Yeah I don't know, doesn't make sense.

That's crazy! Why can't they just do the trans-vaginal and then give you water to drink so they can see another patient while they wait for your bladder to fill?! My sister went for an abdominal ultrasound and only drank 1 bottle of water-16 ounces. They said she was fine!
This is what it looks like: http://rebecca-lifeofanarmywife.blogspot.com/2011/05/ultrasound-tomorrow.html

They don't place it any more than a few inches inside of you, much like a pap smear. It's a bit more comfortable than a speculum. Hope you do OK...
