My local hospital specifically states that they prefer you to empty your bladder prior to you scan.
So when I was there on Monday I asked the Sonographer why?
She said that it was simply an old-fashioned practice to make women have full bladders. With modern sonography equipment she said it makes absolutely no difference at all to the picture quality.
She said that hospitals that still ask for a full bladder are just sticking with old bad habits for no reason, and that its cruel because it makes women so uncomfortable.
So there you go!
