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.

- 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.

Sarah Sharma, a 28-year-old software developer,...
Sarah Sharma, a 28-year-old software developer, had been experiencing persistent, dull pain in her lower right abdomen for three weeks, accompanied by occasional bloating. As someone who usually powers through discomfort, she grew worried when the pain didn't subside and began affecting her sleep. Her family history includes a grandmother with gallbladder issues. Her primary care physician, concerned about possible appendicitis or ovarian cysts, referred her to a gastroenterologist. The gastroenterologist, noting the pain's location and duration, recommended a USG Lower Abdomen to get a clear picture of her abdominal organs. During the procedure, Sarah found the gel cold but the sonographer's calm explanations reassuring. The scan ruled out appendicitis but revealed a small, simple hepatic cyst on her liver edge, which the doctor explained was benign and likely unrelated to her pain. The final diagnosis was a muscular strain, possibly from her new exercise routine. With this relief, Sarah's anxiety lifted. She followed up with physiotherapy for the strain, and her pain resolved within two weeks. Emotionally, she moved from a state of fear about a serious illness to immense relief and a newfound commitment to listening to her body without immediately jumping to worst-case scenarios.
