Who is this surgery for?
- Unexplained, persistent, or severe abdominal pain.
- Suspected gallstones (cholelithiasis) or gallbladder inflammation.
- Evaluation of liver conditions like fatty liver, cirrhosis, or hepatitis.
- Assessing kidney stones, cysts, or infections.
- Investigating an abdominal mass or lump felt during a physical exam.
- Unexplained weight loss, jaundice, or abnormal liver function tests.
- Screening for an abdominal aortic aneurysm (in at-risk individuals).
- Monitoring known conditions like pancreatic cysts or ascites (fluid buildup).
How to prepare
- Fasting is usually required for 6-8 hours before the scan to ensure the gallbladder is full and the stomach and intestines are empty, providing clearer images.
- Drink water as usual unless instructed otherwise; a full bladder is often needed for better visualization of pelvic organs.
- Inform your doctor about all current medications, especially diabetes medication, as fasting may require dosage adjustments.
- Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing to the appointment.
- Remove any jewelry or metallic objects from the abdominal area.
Risks & possible complications
- Ultrasound is considered extremely safe with no known harmful biological effects from diagnostic sound waves.
- There is a very low risk of an allergic reaction to the ultrasound gel, which is typically water-based and hypoallergenic.
- Discomfort from pressure applied by the transducer probe, especially if the area is tender.
- A potential for false-negative or inconclusive results, which may require additional imaging tests.
Recovery & hospital stay
- There is no specific recovery period; you can resume your normal diet and activities immediately after the scan.
- The sonographer will wipe off the clear, water-based gel from your abdomen.
- Your Gastroenterologist will analyze the images and discuss the findings with you, often on the same day or at a follow-up appointment.
- No special post-procedure care is needed.
- If a biopsy or other intervention was performed during the ultrasound (which is rare for a standard scan), specific aftercare instructions will be provided.

Sara Patel, a 42-year-old accountant and...
Sara Patel, a 42-year-old accountant and mother of two, had been experiencing persistent, dull pain in her upper right abdomen for several weeks, accompanied by occasional nausea, especially after eating fatty foods. Her family history includes gallstones. Concerned about the recurring discomfort disrupting her work and family life, she visited Dr. Sharma, a gastroenterologist. After a physical exam, Dr. Sharma recommended a USG Whole Abdomen to visualize her gallbladder, liver, and bile ducts, suspecting gallstones. On the day of the procedure, Sara was anxious but found the sonographer's explanation of the cool gel and gentle probe pressure reassuring. The scan was quick and painless. The results confirmed multiple small gallstones. Relieved to have a clear answer, Sara felt her anxiety lift. She discussed dietary modifications and a planned laparoscopic cholecystectomy with Dr. Sharma. Emotionally, she moved from fear of the unknown to a sense of control, empowered to move forward with treatment.
