Full bladder ultrasound

Hi! I'm 45 years old and yesterday I had a prostate ultrasound. Okay, I always found very interesting the feeling of a full bladder, don't you?

I had an appointment at 8.30 a.m. and the nurse, when I make the appointment told me to drink 53 oz of water 2 hour before the exam and hold the urine in my bladder and not to eat anything since midnight.

So when I woke up I started drinking, drinking and drinking.. And at 7 o'clock I felt a little urge to urinate but I went on drink.

At 7.45 I needed to pee and I liked this feeling but Itwas growing fast and when I set off to doctor the urge was strong. I was used to hold my pee so i drove to the doctor's office trying to think at something else.

At 8.15 I arrived at the doctor's office, I went into the clinic and a nurse. an old women, asked me about the exam and told me that the doctor was late and wouldn't arrive until 8.45. So I sit down in the waiting room, I read a magazine but I the urge to urinate was now very strong. When the doctor arrived called in the office a women so I said to the old nurse:

" Sorry. I need to use to bathroom, may you tell this to the doctor this, please?"

The nurse said yes and left me sit down with my full painful bladder! Then the doctor come out, spoke to the nurse and called me. I was very relieved but I was wrong! She asked me if I had drunk the 53 oz of water and how full I felt, I answered that I was bursting, she pressed on my belly and said the I wasn't full and asked me to drink some other glass of water!

Oh god, my bladder hurts like hell, I was really bursting but I drunk 3 other glass of water and I waited till 9.15 crossing my legs and holding my pee.

At 9.15 the doctor finally called me in the exam room and asked me change in a gown. I was naked under it but I was too much in pain to be embarassed. The doctor told me to laid on my back and covered my genitals witha towel. Then she put a cold gel on my tummy: It was rock, sore and swalled. She started pressing the probe on my tummy and It hurts really badly . I yelled : " Please, stop I'm peeing. I can't hold it anymore!!!" And she answered "Don't move, I need you to wait." I was going to pee and she was smiling and pressing on my tummy, It seem it took hours. When she put the probe away I jump up 'cause I thought I can Urinate but she stopped me and told me to laid on my left said bbecause I had to have the trans-rectal ultrasound. I laid down she took my cheeks apart and put some gel in my anus, then she took an other probe and inserted it in my rectum "Aaaa, that's hurt!" I said and she told me :"Now you may feel some pressure on your bladder! Try to hold the urine, than we have done." Men, I was going to cry! I had to squeeze my penis with my hand to not urinate! It was unbilievable. Than she removed the probe and said "Now you can..." I run naked to the toilet but, unfortunatetly, in front of the door I had a cramp in my abdomen and I started peeing: I saw the incredible flux coming out of my penis and going everywhere.

Does anybody pee in front of the doctor? What's about your ultrasound? Let me know! Now after that I find it quite arousing.

I've had multiple ultrasounds the past 6 months and even when my bladder feels as if it will burst any moment, I've had the ultrasound tech tell me it's not full enough!

I went to school to be an ultrasound tech so I've heard all about it, studied it for 2 years and a half and watched many be performed but I haven't seen many enjoy it.

There's some pleasure as the wand is moved over the abdomen though for some. I've experienced it and some of the techs have discussed it with me that women get quiet once the ultrasound actually starts.

I've learned to drink the right amount at the right time to get full for the ultrasound and sometimes enjoy the pressure if the tech does it right.

My question is, does anybody enjoy a full bladder or enjoyed the experience of an ultrasound?

It doesn't really do anything sexually for me. I once had my bladder so full that I was in tears. The tech was harsh and unforgiving. Terrible experience!

I can't say I enjoy a full bladder specifically, but the last time I had a test which required a full bladder was during a type of urodynamic test to measure how much my bladder holds. There was one enjoyable part of the exam: the female nurse who participated.

I was wearing only a hospital robe as the very attractive (Indian) nurse led me into the room where the male doctor was sitting on a stool in front of what looked to me like a gynacological exam chair. He asked me to sit in it and put my legs in the stirrups, which the nurse helped me with. This, by the way, was a nurse who had, on other hospital visits, done my blood pressure and temperature (only oral) before the exams and who'd helped me process payments afterwards, etc.

So we had one of those friendly professional relationships: we didn't really know each other or talk about anything personal but it was comfortable and reassuring. She'd never been in the exam room with me for any part of any previous exam.

So all of a sudden I'm thinking "whoa! this is the nice woman I usually just chat with fully clothed" and now I'm getting into this exam chair and she is raising my gown to completely expose my genitalia for the doctor. She's assisting with the exam! Then she sits down on a stool behind the doctor and watches as he proceeds with the urodynamic test (of course, the only thing I'm watching is her face, and she is staring at what the doctor is doing and not looking me in the face).

He inserts the catheter in my penis, which I expected, and then he holds up a slim wire sheathed in a tube with a sort of sensor at the end (looked like a tiny AAA battery only smaller) and says "this goes in your rectum to detect the amount of pressure in your bladder". He quickly smeared my anus with lubrication and slipped the sensor into me a few inches (it was not painful and other than the sensation as it passed through my anus, it couldn't really feel it).

So there I am leaning back in a chair legs spread wide open, penis, testicles and anus fully on display AND both holes occupied with tubes as the doctor begins to fill by bladder with fluid through the catheter. He then goes across the room to monitor the results on the computer while he nurse sits directly in front of me to monitor me ("do you feel full yet?", "try to let your bladder fill as much as possible", "let me know when it is completely full", etc). It got to the point of the exam being very uncomfortable, painful in fact, I was so full before I told them I was ready to release.

Once the procedure was complete and I had released the fluid back through the catheter, the doctor excused himself while the nurse attended to me. Meaning: she carefully pulled the catheter out of me, then gently spread my cheeks with one hand as she slipped the sensor wire out of my anus with the other. She very carefully wiped the excess lubrication and fluid from me. All totally professionally and in a very nice, almost smiling way, like someone who is professional and also likes their job.

So, no I don't enjoy a full bladder and don't find it sexual, but yes I do find the presence of a female during an exam enjoyable and -- depending on her level of participation and the intimacy of the exam -- even exciting.

Full bladder isn't pleasure for me either, does anyone enjoy this feeling ?

I recently had an ultrasound which required a full bladder. When I arrived I was already crossing my legs. However, they said I wasn't full enough, so I had to drink more water! It was awful.

I guess the only thing that could be taken in a way that's beyond strictly medical is the submission. That's to say, normally when your bladder is full you empty it. In the case of an ultrasound, you have to wait on the technician/doctor to release you.

Thanks for the very detailed description of the urodynamics. I would love to experience this one day...

I've had lots of ultrasounds and the full bladder is torture! That being said I enjoy the rest of the exam after they let you pee. And they always say they don't think they'll have to do a trans vaginal and they always do

It doesn't do a single thing for me, I hate them. I usually bring the man along to hold my hand I hate them so much.

If I require a vaginal ultrasound I have to drink 1 litre of water before

Horrible stuff, really.

My recent bladder ultrasound went something like this.

I arrived almost an hour before my appointment and thought I could maybe void my bladder and drink plenty of fluids for the next hour before my exam. I decided I did not want to chance it and held my bladder, and continued to drink water. I checked and was told to have a seat, someone would be calling my name shortly.

In the waiting room I overheard a male tech talk to an elderly patient how the ultrasound works. I started to think I was going to be next and I was going to have a male tech. About ten minutes later a female nurse walks into the room and calls out my name. I go to get up and she ushers me to sit, she just wanted to know if I was drinking fluids and ready. I told her I was more than ready. She asked me to wait there and someone would be back for me shortly. I knew I was going to be seeing the male tech.

She returns and calls my name again and tells me to follow her down the hall. She said the other tech was in the room finishing up with his patient and we would be going in right after they were done. They came out and we went in. She asked me to place my coat on the chair in the corner as she got a gown and a bed sheet out of the cupboard. She laid the fresh clean sheet down and asked me to lay down. She then told me to lift my shirt all the way up and to unbuckle my pants.

I undid my belt and pants buckle. She turns back towards me and asks me to open the zipper. I laid there, feeling like my penis was sticking out and wrapped in my zipper. She uses a towel (I thought it was a gown) to drape over my mid section as she tucks in the towel and pulls down my pants. My chest, belly and pubic hair is all exposed at this point. She squirts some gel on my belly and says she needs to look in a few spots first.

She says we are done and I can go void my bladder in the restroom across the hall. She grabs the towel and jerks it out from my open pants. She begins to rub the gel up but sees something further south. I am just about sitting up as I see her take her towel covered hand and cover my penis. As she removed the towel my penis came with it. It is laying there on my lower belly and she is trying to wipe it up. I feel her grab a hold of it just as she realizes what she has in her hand. She moves quickly to another section of my belly and I can feel the jelly on the towel as it slides over my penis. She reaches up my belly and says I should be clean. She removes the towel as I stand up with my dick still hanging out of my zipper. I reach out and grab the towel from her and wipe my penis off. She asks if I am better now. I thank her and she again tells me to go across the hall and void my bladder.

When I go back in she asks me to repeat the process of lifting my shirt and opening my pants back up. This time I pull my pants down just enough that hey do not cover my penis. She lays the towel on top of my mid section. Not tucking it in. She squirts some more jelly on my belly/bladder area. She tosses the empty tube on top of my penis and she places something else up there, it slides down. She grabs it and puts it back on the top and then holds her hand there keeping whatever she put there in place.

When she was done she did not wipe me up but told me to stand up and get dressed. We were done. She had some final paperwork to do. I stood up, used the towel, or bits of it I could use since it was covered in jelly by this point. My pants fell to the floor, my shirt is still up. She turns back around and sees me mostly naked and asks if there is a problem. I tell her I was wiping myself clean and my pants fell down. She smiles and says okay as she watches me pull up my pants and buckle them up.

I am glad I did not get a male tech this time!

A full bladder is a horrible feeling for me too. I've had lots of ultrasounds recently and they've clamped my foley catheter and made me drink lots. It's actually painful after a litre of water. I've also had my bladder filled via a catheter. That isn't a very pleasant experience either.

I've had to have a full bladder for abdominal ultrasound a couple of times. It's not fun, especially having an enlarged prostate.

The big problem is that the radiology office is not good at keeping on schedule. The full bladder is even worse when you're looking at your watch and it's already a half hour after your appointment time.

I can relate! When I had some prostate problems, I was getting quite a few bladder ultrasounds mainly to check for how much my bladder would empty. It was never enough, so I had what's commonly referred to as a "roto-rooter job." In other posts I've mentioned how well that worked. But bottom line is that neither a full bladder nor an ultrasound was at all erotic, as most others have reported here.

After I had the above surgery I needed to have several successive ultrasounds over a month or so, to make sure my bladder was finally emptying fully, or nearly so. So in addition to giving me a couple liters of water to drink, here's what they did. A female nurse would insert a catheter into my penis, extending it into my bladder. She had placed a large syringe with saline solution over the open end of the catheter. She then injected that into my already nearly-full bladder to get it as full as she could. Not a fun experience. At that point, I was given a bladder ultra sound.

The catheter was then removed, I urinated, then another ultrasound was given after urinating to determine how much was emptying. My urine was also measured in a graduated cylinder. I guess they weren't taking any chances!

I didn't mind the catheter insertion at all; it was the bladder filling and fullness that wasn't pleasant. I'd been cath'd so much and had needed to do a lot of self-cath that I'm very good at its insertion now, into others.

Not actually for an ultrasound, but I did have to have Radiation Therapy for Bladder Cancer and one part of the treatment did call for the radiation to be administered while the bladder was full. That was the worst part of the therapy that I had to endure for the radiation treatments.

I haven't had a full bladder for an ultrasound, but I did have one for a urological procedure several years ago. I had some bleeding and in order to locate the source of the bleed, the doc had to fill my bladder to wash away any clots and anything else that might have given a false source. It turned out that I had a broken blood vessel (how? We still have no idea and it hasn't returned) and the doctor repaired the tear with electro-cautery. By the time he was finished the pressure from the full bladder was incredible.

Having a full bladder is an unfortunate and sometimes uncomfortable experience of having an bladder ultrasound performed. As others have mention we normally fill the bladder via a catheter if present and it can be an uncomfortable at times as the bladder is stretched to capacity. If you have no catheter and have to drink fluids then the urge to pee especially as they press the transducer over the bladder can be intense and overwhelming, in addition as Jds4med mentioned they never seem to run on schedule and clock watching with a full to burst bladder is no fun at all.

BTW, these days, with prostate issues, I get a bladder ultrasound at every urologist visit. First I pee into the flowometry funnel for time and flow measurement. After that, they use a simple ultrasound machine to measure my post void residual volume. It's simple, lay back, open belt, unzip a bit, apply gel and get results in about 30 seconds. For me, the hard part is urinating on command.

Been with an ex to a TVU - she drank the 1 litre beforehand as instructed and then they left her waiting until I went to find a nurse to hurry them along as she was so desperate, she was in pain. After the bladder scan and before the vaginal probe, she ran off to use the bathroom leaving me exchanging pleasantries with the nurse (and she rolled the 'condom' over the probe)!!

I have had a number of ultrasounds on different parts of my body. I don't find them unpleasant but I don't find them overtly plessuresble either. It is nice to be able to relieve yourself afterwards.

I've found that these days, ultrasound studies are done as 'packages.' After finding something unusual with my gall bladder during an abdominal ultrasound, the doctor wanted to take another look 6 months later. She couldn't order a gall bladder ultrasound, she had to order another full abdominal ultrasound complete with another full bladder for no reason. Thank you managed care for cutting costs by doing 3 times too much work and increasing patient discomfort for no reason.

Before I had my cystoscpoy I got also an ultrasound with full bladder. I had to drink ao much before and got an infusion additionally. I wait more than about one hour until the bladder was full enough. The ultrasound tooks two minutes.

We used to have foley catheters placed in the ER patients we had who needed ultrasounds of the uterus. Most of these were for threatend abs or miscarriages. The tech would fill the bladder with saline and then immediately drain it after the exam. The alternative was to order a transvaginal ultrasound which gave better information anyway.

I had it done many times and they told me to drink 32oz 1hour before the appointment.I really enjoy the uncomfortable feeling of a full bladder and the pressure from the ultrasound probe on my bursting bladder! I like struggling not to pee, hold all the water inside me and wait someone to allow me empty my bladder. And after the exam, what a relief

During my wife's physical last year, the PA examining her felt something on her right ovary, like a small, hard pea. Since we have conjoint exams and usually race home after for some good quality time, that bit of news put a damper on that. The PA told us to try not to worry too much, since it most likely was a small cyst that will go away on its own. To be on the safe side, she is going to refer her for an abdominal and transvaginal ultrasound. My wife had no symptoms whatsoever, so we were surprised for sure. The PA told her that the imaging center at the nearby hospital would call that afternoon so she could make an appointment for an ultrasound.

Later that afternoon, she received the call and made the appointment for the following Friday in the afternoon. She was instructed to drink at least 32 ounces of water about 90 minutes before the appointment, and do not urinate before the appointment!

So the day came, and she did as instructed. I went with her, as I was worried about her, and she had never had an ultrasound before. We came from work and met in the hospital parking garage, and walked in together. She told me she had to pee so bad she can't stand it!

We arrived in the reception area of the imaging department and she checked in. She told the receptionist she was there for a transvaginal ultrasound, and she had a full bladder about to explode. The receptionist looked sympathetic and said she will try to prioritize her.

We still waited about ten minutes, all the while my wife sat with her legs crossed tightly, and had an uncomfortable look on her face. The second she was called back, she sprung up and practically ran to the back room area! I had to almost jog to keep up with her.

The tech showed us to an exam room. My wife was wearing a red skirt suit, and was instructed to remove her blazer and lay on the table. It wasn't a typical exam table, but a simple flat trainer's type table. She sat up on it, making that lovely table paper crinkle, and swung up her legs and laid back. The tech told my wife to lower her skirt down her hips, and to lift her shirt part way towards her chest. She lowers the side zip of her skirt and lowers it and her thong panties to just below her mons, and lifts her sleeveless, snug fitting, shiny black pullover shirt to her ribcage. The tech tucks a towel into the waistband of her skirt to keep the gel off of it.

The tech tells my wife the gel is warmed up so it won't be cold. My wife says thank God for that! After the gel is liberally applied, the tech takes the transducer and starts to rub it over my wife's lower abdomen. My wife said please hurry, the pressure is making it almost impossible to hold her pee! My wife told me later that holding it that long, while the tech spent several minutes running the transducer around her abdomen, right over her bladder actually hurt like hell. She has never had to pee so bad in her life!

After the tech was done, she quickly wiped all the gel off of her abdomen with a damp towel, and let my wife pull up and zip her skirt, sit up, and run to the bathroom. She told my wife to make sure her bladder is completely empty. After a few minutes of big relief, my wife returns and is ready for the transvaginal ultrasound next.

The tech instructs my wife to undress from the waist down, lay back on the exam table, and put the drape she was handing her over her lower half. She tells us she will be back shortly and leaves the room. My wife says this should be interesting, I still feel crampy around my bladder area, and I'm about to be literally probed!

First, she unfastens the ankle straps on her red stiletto heels, slips them off, and places them under the chair in the corner by the exam table. Then she unzips and lowers her snug fitting pencil skirt over her curvy hips and round, firm butt, down her well toned legs and off, placing it on the chair. Finally, she slips her emerald green microfiber thong panties over her hips, down her legs and off, placing them on top of the skirt. Since it was summer she wore no stockings or pantyhose, but had on a pair of those really low cut, no show "footies", made of shiny beige nylon, like stockings are, which she left on. They are the type a woman can wear with heels and flats, so her feet won't get blisters from chafing due to the heat and humidity, but don't show like ankle socks would.

She sits on then lays back on the table, making the paper crinkle loudly once again. After unfolding the paper drape, she covers her lower half, the drape only making it to mid thigh. Just then the tech knocks and comes into the exam room, and after explaining the procedure and answering a few of our questions, she says let's begin!

She instructs my wife to bend her knees up and slide down lower on the table, place her feet at the corners of the table, and let her knees fall open as far as she can. My wife is very flexible and complies by opening her legs obscenely wide.

After slipping a condom over the probe and liberally applying the warm lubricant, the tech hands the probe to my wife so she can insert it herself. She pulls up the drape to expose herself enough to be able to insert it. She slowly slides it into her vagina as far as she could, and tells the tech it's in, take over! The tech smiles and says you have a great sense of humor, which helps with this procedure. After spending several minutes of moving the probe around at different depths and angles, imaging her entire reproductive system, she finishes by telling my wife here's the worst part, I need to go deep and at an angle, once on each side of your uterus, to get a good image of each ovary. It will be uncomfortable but will be over in a minute or so. Try to relax and take deep breaths.

My wife closed her eyes and took slow, deep breaths while I held her hand, which she squeezed a couple of times. She winced a little those couple of times, but otherwise didn't look too uncomfortable considering.

The tech removed the probe slowly, and told my wife she can sit up. I help her up, and she pulls the drape down to cover herself after she sits on the edge of the table. The tech tells us we should hear from our doctor in three days or so with the results. After telling my wife there are some wet naps to clean up with and she can get dressed, the tech left.

My wife stands and takes the wet naps, cleans off the excess lube, and then takes her thong panties and pulls them on. She slips on her snug fitting pencil skirt, the hem a few inches above her knees, and zips it. Next she steps into her stilettos and fastens the wide ankle straps, then smooths her shirt and puts on her blazer. We head home, worried what the results may be.

A few days later, she receives a call from our doctor. Good news! It is a small, common fluid filled cyst, and that type typically shrinks and eventually disappear on their own. But as a precaution, she should schedule a follow up pelvic ultrasound again in three months. Which she did. I will write about that appointment later. Hint: still good news.

I would like to add that during her ultrasound I was scared what might be found about that small bump on her ovary. One usually imagines the worst, and we were no different. But we tried not to think about it while waiting for the results, and when we did, we tried to stay positive. No interest in medfet crossed my mind during her ultrasound whatsoever. Now, several months later as I wrote this, I did get my medfet fires going remembering how she looked in her skirt suit and heels. Her undressing from the waist down, and the probe inside her as she was laying on the exam table with her knees bent and feet at the corners of the table, legs wide open.

Still, it was a scary time. I'm so grateful she was fine and all was well.

Good one rab

My annual trip to the urologist these days always requires showing up with a full bladder. It gets really uncomfortable if I can't get in right away to pee in their measuring machine. The ultrasound is done after to see how much urine stayed behind. Never found this sexually stimulating though.

Most of my bladder ultra sounds these days are done after I have voided to see how well I am emptying my bladder. My last one had my urologist tell me that I only voided about 20% of my bladder. He put me on Mybetric to help me empty more.

I think all y'all are missing the point. For abdominal ultrasound studies, the bladder needs to be as full as possible for imaging purposes. This is VERY different than the post void residual measurements done on the fly at the urologist's office.
