Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need to hold my urine?
A full bladder pushes the intestines out of the way, allowing for a clear view of the uterus, ovaries, or prostate.
Why does the report take 3 hours?
Dr. Kawlas provides a detailed, expert-reviewed report; the time allows for meticulous interpretation and documentation.
Is there any radiation?
No. Ultrasound uses sound waves, making it 100% safe for pregnant women and children.
What makes the GE Voluson E10 "Most Advanced"?
It offers the highest resolution available in the world, specifically for detecting tiny anomalies.
Can I drink tea before the fasting scan?
No, please stick to plain water only, as tea can cause the gallbladder to contract.
Why choose Dr. Kawlas for a second opinion?
With 26+ years of experience and FMF UK certifications, he is an expert at spotting details that may be missed elsewhere.
Does the gel feel cold?
It may feel slightly cool initially, but it is harmless and wipes off easily.
Can USG see stomach ulcers?
Ultrasound is generally not the best tool for the stomach lining; an endoscopy is usually preferred.
What is "4D Sonography"?
It is real-time 3D imaging, allowing you to see movement within the body or womb.
Can I have this test if I'm on my period?
Yes, it does not affect the scan.
Why do I need to fast?
Fasting reduces gas in the bowel, which can block the sound waves.
Is the probe inserted inside the body?
A standard A+P scan is done transabdominally (over the skin).
Can Dr. Kawlas do my Fetal Echo?
Yes, Fetal Echo Cardiography is one of his primary areas of clinical interest.
Does the test hurt?
No, it is entirely painless.
Is the test result confidential?
Absolutely. At Dr. Patho, your imaging data and reports are handled with the highest level of privacy.
