About
Organs examined: pelvic organs including the urinary bladder and uterus/prostate.
Preparation
- Do not eat for 6–8 hours before the procedure.
- Avoid smoking prior to the exam.
- You may drink only still, non-carbonated water.
- One hour before the exam, refrain from urinating and drink 1–2 glasses of water – this helps improve bladder visualization (if the bladder is being examined).
Beyond these general rules, preparation for some tests and diagnostic procedures may require specific instructions from your treating doctor.
