Bladder ultrasound next week

I have a bladder ultrasound next week, will I have to take off my pants and underwear for it?

I have had one several times. Usually you will lay on your back, and lower your pants to mid thigh. The ultrasound tech will lay a towel over your lap and tuck it into the front of your underwear. The waist band of your underwear may be pulled down slightly for access. Your penis will not be exposed.

Thanks 👍👍

If I have to completely pull my pants and underwear down, no biggie

Had this done a couple of times.... it's the only urological procedure I don't mind having done. Don't think there was penis exposure - but can't remember.

Probably pants and underwear off. @Tingue77 with the issues I mentioned I kind of expect to have one when I see a urologist too.

Most likely they will call you in and have you strip naked and send you back to the waiting room to be called when ready , just ignore everyone looking at you

Had a bladder ultrasound last November and she just pull up my shirt a bit and pushed the shorts down to the top of the penis and sound me and said that you have about 600 MLS of urine, try to go pee now.

@Annie2 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I had two bladder ultrasounds on two different occasions. The first time they didn't lower my underwear, just moved them slightly. The second time they asked me to remove them... it depends on the doctor

Same here as most, the nurse/tech just pushed my shorts a bit (I wore UderArmor gym shorts), Goo'ed me up, took the sound then wiped me off. Told me I had four ml urine in there.

Funny though, there was some guy sitting naked in the waiting room with everyone looking at him waiting to be called back in for his ultrasound.

I’ve had one. It was easy, painless, not humiliating at all. You drink a shit ton of water. They scan your bladder full, have you empty, and then scan again. They did the whole procedure and never got even a glimpse of my cock. Worst part about whole procedure was paying for it afterward.

I get one everytime I go to the uro to see if im retaining (they asked me to pee first). They pulled my underwear down to my pubes & did the ultrasound.

A few yr ago I had one before a cystoscopy and that one was naked from the waist down.

I’ve had a few. I was always fully clothed. They lowered my shorts a little but didn’t remove them.

I've found it depends on the office and who is doing it. At my new urologist they check my bladder at every visit. The assistant asks me to lower my pants to mid thigh and then sit on the exam table, which she then lowers the back of to a reclining position. Then she does the scan while I am fully exposed. Afterwards she wipes off the gel and tells me I can pull my pants back up. Being a bit of an exhibitionist I don't mind at all.

In two cases, I was asked to disrobe and put on a gown. I was in stirrups for one that included the TRUS. I referred to the bladder enema to fill and measure output and the retention. The other was done lying down.

I see that the original poster didn't provide an update.

Urology office always does a residual urine test, as I have some incontinence issures. Nurse/aide unzips pants, pulls pants/underwear down to just above penis, tucks a paper towel under clothing, to prevent gel on clothes. . Gel applied and wand pressed over bladder. I am asked to wipe myself. No exposure. They're careful about that.

actually I have 0-20 ml on tests.

It depends on the type of scan how it will go. I have had a pelvic ultrasound where I just had a sheet on and it was lowered to expose my abdomen down to the top of my penis. You are probably have a residual urine scan where they have you urinate and then they scan your bladder with the hand held device. I have had it done several times and some of the medical assistants have had me pull everything down and others have just had me pull down my pants and hold the top of my underwear down to keep the gel from getting on my clothes. It is over very quickly. The pelvic or bladder ultrasound takes longer because it is usually done with a full bladder and then an empty bladder which is the worst part holding it.
