A member asked:
Does a bladder scan to detect urine retention (residual urine) require the urologist to look at your private parts or to insert something in there?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No. This is an external ultrasound placed over your bladder after voiding (just above pubic bone)

no. Unless it is part of your Urologic exam.Also insist on another female to be present in the room when examined for the comfort of you and the doctor.
