How do I Prepare for Male Pelvic Ultrasound?

To ensure we get the best possible images, here are a few things to keep in mind:

  1. You will need to have a full bladder for the scan. Partway through, you will be asked to empty your bladder to ensure it is emptying properly.
  2. Referral Letter: You will need a referral letter from a GP with an Irish Medical Council (IMC) number dated within 6 months. This can be sent via Healthlink or emailed to info@theultrasoundsuite.ie.
