A member asked:
Why do i need to drink a lot of water in preparation for a transvaginal ultrasound?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
To fill the bladder: Filling the bladder moves the pelvic organs so that they are easier to see with the ultrasound and to distinguish them from other normal pelvic structures.
