Ultrasound of the bladder with determination of residual urine

A diagnostic examination aimed at assessing the physical condition of the bladder and evaluating its emptying efficiency is an ultrasound of the bladder with residual urine measurement. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, is completely safe, causes no discomfort to the patient, and provides real-time results.

This examination helps detect various urinary system pathologies, such as inflammatory processes, tumors, or functional impairments. Residual urine is measured after urination to assess the bladder’s emptying efficiency. The ultrasound is performed using modern ultrasound machines that provide high-quality imaging for accurate diagnosis.

Bladder ultrasound with residual urine measurement is recommended in the following cases:

• Burning sensation and pain during urination
• Feeling of incomplete bladder emptying
• Changes in urine flow, pain in the lower back or pubic area
• Reduced sexual activity
• Elevated body temperature, especially when accompanied by other symptoms

Ultrasound examination is a simple and quick method that provides precise information about the internal organs. Based on the results, the doctor can establish a diagnosis and prescribe effective treatment.

Ultrasound diagnostics are prescribed in the following cases:

1. Confirming a diagnosis after examinations and tests
2. Primary diagnostics when urinary system diseases are suspected
3. Inflammatory bladder diseases accompanied by symptoms such as pain or difficulty urinating
4. Abdominal trauma to detect internal organ damage
5. Detection of cysts and other growths, as well as assessing organ structure, shape, and size
6. Post-surgical monitoring of the urinary system

Bladder ultrasound with residual urine also helps evaluate:

• The condition of the ureters
• Kidney parenchyma
• Kidney blood vessels and blood flow rate
• The condition of the prostate and bladder

This examination is essential for diagnosing and monitoring urinary system diseases.

For this examination, the bladder must be full. Patients are advised to drink a glass of water before the procedure and avoid using the restroom. The ultrasound procedure includes the following steps:

1. The patient lies down on the examination couch.
2. A special gel is applied to the skin to enhance the transmission of ultrasound waves.
3. The doctor uses an ultrasound probe to examine the organs.

To determine residual urine, the patient is asked to urinate, after which a second ultrasound is performed. The report includes the following parameters:

• Condition of the kidney parenchyma
• State of the renal pelvis and ureters
• Shape, size, and location of urinary system organs
• Urine volume before and after urination
• Presence of stones or other formations

Based on the findings, the doctor can diagnose conditions such as chronic cystitis, urolithiasis, polyps, or malignant tumors. Patients should consult their physician for diagnosis and treatment recommendations.

Ultrasound is a diagnostic method that does not involve radiation exposure. The procedure is suitable for almost everyone, including newborns, pregnant women, and breastfeeding mothers. Ultrasound is a universal and safe method for all patient categories. The session is comfortable, stress-free, and does not cause discomfort. Additional benefits include:

• Bladder ultrasound with residual urine measurement is one of the most affordable diagnostic methods in terms of cost. It provides high accuracy and informativeness.
• State-of-the-art ultrasound machines offer high-resolution imaging, enabling the detection of even the smallest tissue and organ changes. They help visualize blood vessels, assess blood flow, detect clots, and diagnose cardiovascular conditions.

Ultrasound is widely used to diagnose various diseases, from internal organ disorders to vascular and heart conditions. It is employed to examine abdominal organs, the urinary system, and soft tissues.
