Oh yes, trust me! You have to drink tons of water until your bladder is very, very full, then hold it in until the exam is over. Then the doc squirs some icecold gel just above your lower abdomen and pushes hard into your chock-full bladder. Some US require to hold in breath for a few seconds (and full bladder too)... Ultrasound with full bladder=Not fun!

Why after having a pelvic ultrasound did I need to have a transvaginal ultrasound immediately?
If you are in the early stages of a pregnancy, a transvaginal ultrasound is preferred over a transabdominal ultrasound (scanning through the top of the lower abdomen) because a transvaginal ultrasound provides much more detail and accuracy in assessing a fetus. Early on in pregnancy, the baby is extremely small, only a few millimeters long in the first few weeks. A transvaginal ultrasound will allow the doctor to see the baby's heart beat, even at 5 weeks old in the womb, whereas a transabdominal ultrasound would have an extremely hard time seeing something so tiny. If you are NOT pregnant, and you had t have this type of exam, this is nothing out of he ordinary. Sometimes, during a transabdominal ultrasound, gas from your stomach and bowel can get in the way, making it very hard to see organs such as the uterus and ovaries. If you do not have a full bladder, it will be nearly impossible to obtain medically relevant images through your stomach. A transvaginal ultrasound does not need a full bladder nor does it rely so much on the absence of bowel gas. In this case, it also provides much greater detail than a transabdominal ultrasound.
Holding a painfully full bladder for many hours because of being denied permission to go and even being struck there hard enough by jokester friends to cause breathtaking pain is definitely dangerous?
Yes, it is very dangerous to have a full bladder and then be hit in the bladder. A person can actually have their bladder burst in some rare cases.
What is the prep for a renal ultrasound?
The prep for a renal ultrasound is nothing to eat or drink after midnight. The exception is that you must have completed drinking approximately 32 oz. (or have a completely full bladder) of water/clear liquids by 1 hour prior to your test time. You should start drinking about 1 1/2 hours before the procedure and finish drinking by 1 hour prior. Once you have started drinking the fluids, do not use the bathroom until after your test.

Urinary bladder rupture?
It is possible for a bladder to rupture, although rare. If the bladder can't empty, it becomes painful enough that people usually seek medical help. A catheter is put into the bladder to drain the urine and relieve the pressure. The kidneys will also slow or stop urine production when the pressure backs up as a compensatory mechanism to avoid rupture of the bladder. A very full bladder can also be ruptured by trauma, such as a car accident, especially if pelvic bones are broken.
