I am scheduled to have a ultrasound of the bladder. However you have to drink 32 ounces of water beforehand. I am so afraid of leakage during the test because water makes me have to go. Has anyone encountered this and if so what is your suggestion my test is in the afternoon

I would just be upfront about your worries to the tech when you go in. Don't stress, you'll be with medical professionals and they certainly understand. I've had to drink fluid like that for ct scan and it went ok so you may be surprised.
Thank you so much for your quick response. That makes me feel better 😘
The above answer is perfect! In addition to that, staying calm mentally and staying in the moment works as well. Think positive and stay in the moment.
Thank you Lauren 💜
Hi Angieb, I have undergone this myself. I echo what Kmiller said—share these concerns with your medical team. I experienced a compassionate and caring response—they couldn’t have been more wonderful. They’re there to help and glad to provide reassurance. In my case everything went very smoothly—I am sure it will for you, too! Please let us know how it goes. Sending you lots of good wishes.
