Can you eat before a pelvic ultrasound?

No, you cannot eat before a pelvic ultrasound. An ultrasound of the pelvis requires a full bladder in order to properly visualize the pelvic organs. Drinking plenty of water 1-2 hours before the ultrasound is recommended to ensure a full bladder. It is important to follow the instructions given by your doctor or the ultrasound technician prior to the procedure.
