Bladder Ultrasound

A bladder ultrasound is a non-invasive medical imaging test that uses sound waves to create pictures of the bladder. This procedure helps doctors examine the bladder's shape, size, and any abnormalities, such as stones or tumors. It’s often used to assess urinary retention or incontinence issues. During the test, a small device called a transducer is moved over the abdomen while a gel is applied to improve the quality of the images. The test is painless, typically takes only a few minutes, and provides valuable information to help guide treatment decisions.
