A member asked:
Is it possible for you to drink milk instead of water before an ultrasound?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely: If all you are getting is a pelvic sono, there should be no problem with you drinking some milk rather than water before the exam. If the plan is also to look at the abdomen, the milk could make the gallbladder contract and difficult to examine.
