A bladder ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive, and radiation-free imaging test used to assess the bladder and surrounding structures. It helps evaluate bladder function, detect abnormalities, and guide the next steps in your care.

What Does It Evaluate?
✅ Bladder Wall & Structure – Checks for thickening, diverticula, or other structural changes.
✅ Bladder Stones – Detects stones that may cause pain, infections, or urinary blockage.
✅ Tumours or Polyps – Identifies abnormal growths within the bladder that may require further investigation.
✅ Urinary Retention – Measures how well the bladder empties and detects residual urine.
✅ Inflammation & Infections – Assesses for signs of cystitis or chronic bladder irritation.
✅ Monitoring Changes – Tracks known conditions to see if they are progressing or responding to treatment.
