A member asked:
Can you make a saline ultrasound painless? if so what can i do besides obviously relax. i'm so terrified it's going to be unbearable sharp pain
A doctor has provided 1 answer
800mg ibuprofen: Patients do experience discomfort. General recommendations are to take ibuprofen 30 minutes before the procedure (and probably after the procedure as well if you still feel any discomfort). During the exam, relax, take deep breaths, and remember it’s only temporary.

I had a saline ultrasound Friday. Is it normal to still have spotting and (lightly) bloody discharge? It happens only when I use the bathroom but I don't for how many days after the procedure it's normal? Thanks.
