How can I make myself pee quickly?

If you have ever had an ultrasound, you may have had the painful experience of being asked by the doctor to hold your urine. Many people don’t understand why they have to hold their urine when doing an ultrasound? Of course, not everyone has been asked to hold their urine during this examination. This experience only occurs when the abdomen is examined. Especially pregnant women will be asked to hold their urine when undergoing a fetal ultrasound examination. But how can you make yourself urinate quickly?

1. How to hold urine:

Method 1: Make preparations

If you know that you are going to have an ultrasound, you should drink 300 ml of water before going to the hospital, and then drink it slowly after arriving at the hospital according to the situation on site.

Method 2: Drinking water in small sips can help you urinate faster

When some people hear that they are going to have an ultrasound, they drink a lot of water, pouring it down their stomachs in big gulps. In fact, this will slow down the production of urine.

Because the swallowing action is fast, the water you drink reaches the colon quickly and is absorbed by the stool there (the stool absorbs water and becomes soft). Therefore, part of the water you drink is excreted with the stool.

When you drink water in small sips, the water flows slowly and is easily absorbed by the small intestine into the blood, and finally forms urine and is stored in the bladder. In this way, urine is produced faster.

Drinking small sips of water while walking can speed up urine production.

Method 3: Drink sugar water

If you consume more sugar, the osmotic pressure of the blood will increase, the permeability of the blood vessel walls will increase, and the kidneys will produce more urine, so hyperosmotic sugar has a diuretic effect. Therefore, before the B-ultrasound, you can drink some honey water, sugar water and other beverages, or you can drink watermelon juice, apple juice, etc. to promote urine production.

two. Why do you have to hold your urine?

In fact, not all B-ultrasound examinations require holding urine. Holding urine is only necessary when an abdominal examination is required. For example: the lower ureter, bladder, prostate, seminal vesicle, uterus, uterine appendages (fallopian tubes, ovaries), obstetric fetal ultrasound examination (early pregnancy test) for those under 3 months of pregnancy, observation of the position of the placenta if placenta previa is suspected, observation of the length of the pregnant woman's cervical canal, etc. The bladder must be full for the examination to be accurate, so it is necessary to hold urine.

Holding urine to fill the bladder can make the bladder wall appear more clearly. In addition, since the uterus, ovaries, prostate and other organs are located lower and deeper in the pelvic cavity below and behind the bladder, and their front and upper parts are covered by a large amount of intestinal tract, it is difficult for ultrasound to penetrate the intestinal gas to reach these organs.

A bladder filled with urine can effectively push away the intestines occupying the pelvic cavity, overcome the interference of intestinal gas, and elevate the position of these organs so that they can be clearly seen.
