Do you have to hold your urine to check for fibroids?

Uterine fibroids are common benign tumors in women, depending on where they grow, they can be subplasma, intermural, or submucosal. When you go to the hospital, the gynecologist’s first choice is the gynecological internal examination. When doing the internal examination, you don’t need to hold your urine, and the doctor will touch the size of the uterus, whether the surface is smooth, whether there are fibroid nodules, and even whether there is any pressure and pain, and whether there are any special masses in the adnexal area through the internal examination. It is also necessary to do gynecological ultrasound to further determine whether there are fibroids. Generally, doctors prefer transvaginal ultrasound, which does not require holding urine, and is clearer than conventional transabdominal ultrasound, with greater magnification, allowing better observation of special areas, such as submucosal fibroids, which can be more accurately visualized. If you suspect that you have uterine fibroids, you do not need to hold your urine in advance when you go to the hospital, and sometimes you can’t do the ultrasound immediately after you go to the hospital, and it is not good for your bladder to hold your urine too much.
