Sonogram -NWR

I had to have a sonogram today, not because I'm preggers or anything, just because I have annoying cysts that rupture once in a while, although this time is led to a nasty UTI, so they wanted to check my kidneys, this means I had to do it with a full bladder which I have never done before.

Might I just say that was very uncomfortable for me, in soooooo many ways.


on a lighter note, everything is fine. sorry in advance for the TMI.

Happy to hear everything's ok and glad for you that it's over

you have to do full bladder sonos when you're expecting right?

I thought they always had to be somewhat full so they could see better, right?

glad everything is okay........

not always, internal ones require empty bladders. i get those everything 3 months because I get cysts all over and its routine, haven't had anything serious, its just a little painful when they rupture. external, when they apply the gel on ur belly and on ur sides for the kidneys, they need a full bladder. i dunno.

it was just hard to hold it in....i dont know about the rest of you, but I absolutely have no control over my brain when I have a full bladder, maybe it's just me. lol.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhh... one time, I went to the gyno and they needed a urine test.... Well, I didn't have to pee, so i was there FOREVER trying to make myself pee... Then after I FINALLY went, they told me they were doing a sonogram and I needed to have a full bladder... I was like we totally did this backwards............ very annoying

glad everything is ok. those are annoying!! I had cysts once when they did a sono, and then it was gone...same with fibroid. my body is so fuckkked up in that dept. so annoying!! I guess they can come and go depending on your cycle and stuff.

glad it was all good!

they told me BC controls it. I'm on it, don't work. LMAO.

I just use a heating pad or ice pack, i just get concerned when it leads to something I'm not familiar with, like the UTI, I rarely got those in my life.

OMG! I have a very similar cyst problem! I have even had to have emergency surgery because of them.

Those sonograms are the worst! On the last one, I literally told the tech, if you're not done in like 1 minute, I am going to pee all over your table. I almost did lol
