What can urinary system B-ultrasound check

As people's work intensity continues to increase, many friends will develop bad habits such as sitting for a long time and holding urine when they are busy at work. These habits can easily cause problems with the urinary system. Therefore, it is very important to do regular physical examinations of the urinary system. When it comes to methods for examining the urinary system, B-ultrasound is a relatively common one, but many friends are not particularly clear about what B-ultrasound of the urinary system can examine.

Ultrasound examination of the urinary system often includes bilateral kidneys, adrenal glands, ureters, bladder and prostate. It can check whether the structure and morphology of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, etc. are normal, and whether there are kidney stones, hydronephrosis, renal tuberculosis, ureteral stones, bladder stones, tumors and space-occupying lesions.

Precautions for B-ultrasound examination of the urinary system

When doing B-ultrasound examination of the urinary system, especially B-ultrasound examination of the ureters and bladder, you should drink 400-600 ml of warm water 1-2 hours before the examination and wait until the bladder is full before the examination. If the patient needs to undergo digestive and urinary examinations at the same time, it is best not to urinate in the morning on the day of the examination, so that the bladder can be filled without drinking water.

B-ultrasound can better display the basic anatomical structure of the urinary system and has important diagnostic value for urinary stones. When doing B-ultrasound examination of the urinary system, the patient is generally required to have a certain amount of urine retention in the bladder to fill the bladder and have a better contrast with the surrounding organs, thereby obtaining a clearer image. The appropriate urine volume is 20 tens of times, which is equivalent to being patient for a while after having a normal urge to urinate. Therefore, when patients visit the urology department, they should try to retain urine and not empty their urine before visiting the doctor. When scanning the kidneys, you should take a deep breath and hold your breath to move the kidneys downward and expose more of them under the costal arch, which is easier to examine.
