Who is this surgery for?
- Persistent or acute lower abdominal pain or cramping.
- Unexplained bloating, gas, or feeling of fullness.
- Suspected gallstones (cholelithiasis) or gallbladder inflammation.
- Evaluation of liver size, texture, or suspected fatty liver disease.
- Investigation of kidney stones (nephrolithiasis) or kidney abnormalities.
- Assessing for causes of urinary symptoms like frequency, urgency, or pain.
- Monitoring known conditions like abdominal aortic aneurysm.
- Evaluating suspected masses, cysts, or tumors in the lower abdomen.
- Investigating the cause of abnormal liver function tests.
How to prepare
- Fasting is usually required for 6-8 hours before the scan to ensure the gallbladder is full and the bowel gas is minimized.
- Drink 4-6 glasses of water one hour before the appointment and do not empty your bladder. A full bladder acts as an acoustic window for better visualization of pelvic organs.
- Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing.
- Inform your doctor about all medications you are taking.
- Mention any known allergies, especially to ultrasound gel (rare).
- Follow any specific instructions provided by your gastroenterologist or the imaging center.
Risks & possible complications
- There are no known harmful risks associated with diagnostic ultrasound imaging.
- Minor discomfort from pressure of the transducer or from having a full bladder.
- Very rare allergic reaction to the latex in the probe cover or the ultrasound gel.
- As a diagnostic tool, a potential risk is a false positive or false negative finding, which is why results are always correlated with clinical symptoms and other tests.
Recovery & hospital stay
- There is no recovery time or downtime needed. You can resume normal activities, including driving, immediately after the procedure.
- You may use the restroom to empty your bladder as soon as the scan is complete.
- You can eat and drink normally right away.
- The ultrasound gel will be wiped off your skin; it is water-soluble and stains clothing.
- A radiologist will analyze the images and send a detailed report to your gastroenterologist, who will discuss the findings and next steps with you at a follow-up appointment.

I'd been to three other doctors...
I'd been to three other doctors for this nagging pain and fatigue. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Latha at MGM was the first one who actually sat and listened, really listened, to everything I was saying. She ordered a specific test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be something quite rare. She explained it all to me in plain Tamil, drew diagrams on a notepad. I was scared, but she laid out a clear plan. It's been a long road, but I finally feel like we're getting somewhere.
