Bladder prostate ultrasound need to hold urine

Bladder prostate color Doppler ultrasound generally needs to hold urine.

Bladder belongs to the organ that stores urine. If there is no urine holding, the bladder will be in a collapsed state. At this time, color Doppler ultrasound is not easy to observe the internal structure of the bladder. Because the bladder is full after the patient holds urine, the bladder mucosa expands, and it is easier to find the internal lesions of the bladder. Secondly, the prostate is located below the bladder. After the bladder is filled due to urine holding, the doctor can more clearly see the position and size of the prostate. Therefore, when doing bladder prostate color Doppler ultrasound, it is often necessary to hold urine in advance.

However, be careful not to hold urine excessively, so as not to affect bladder function.
