What is ultrasound of the upper abdomen?
An upper abdominal ultrasound is a diagnostic procedure that uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the internal organs in the upper part of the abdomen, including the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, and kidneys. This examination is painless, non-invasive, and does not use radiation, making it safe for all age groups.
The procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis. The patient lies on their back, and the doctor or technician applies gel to the skin of the abdomen to improve contact with the probe. The probe is then moved across the abdomen, sending sound waves toward the internal organs. The sound waves bounce off the organs and create images on the screen, which the doctor analyzes. The ultrasound typically lasts from 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the complexity of the examination.

Symptoms
An upper abdominal ultrasound is an important diagnostic procedure used to evaluate the organs in the upper part of the abdomen. While many problems with these organs may be asymptomatic, certain signs and symptoms may indicate the need for further investigation. If you notice any of the following symptoms, an ultrasound may be recommended to determine the cause of the issue.
Symptoms that indicate the need for an upper abdominal ultrasound:
Pain in the upper abdomen – If you experience pain in the right or middle upper abdomen, it may indicate problems with the liver, gallbladder, or pancreas.
Nausea and vomiting – Persistent nausea, vomiting, or loss of appetite, especially when accompanied by abdominal pain, could be signs of digestive system disorders.
Yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice) – Changes in the color of the skin and eyes becoming yellow may point to problems with the liver, bile ducts, or pancreas.
Unexplained weight loss – Weight loss without an obvious reason may be associated with diseases of the liver, pancreas, or other upper abdominal organs.
Abdominal bloating or swelling – If you notice abnormal swelling in the abdomen or persistent bloating, it may be a sign of problems with the spleen, liver, or other upper abdominal organs.
Elevated bilirubin levels in the blood – If blood tests show elevated bilirubin, this could indicate disorders in liver or bile duct function.
Digestive issues – Such as persistent heartburn, bloating, gas, and heaviness in the stomach, which could be caused by problems with the gallbladder or pancreas.
If you notice any of these symptoms, it is recommended to consult with a doctor who may suggest an upper abdominal ultrasound for an accurate diagnosis.

Nose surgery
Before the nose surgery, I had problems with a deviated septum, which made it difficult for me to breathe and affected my quality of life. After the procedure with exceptional experts in the field of aesthetic plastic surgery, I can finally say that I can breathe fully! In addition to solving my health problem, the professional team worked hard to make the aesthetic result perfect. My nose looks natural and beautiful, which was an added bonus to the health I have gained. During the entire process, from the initial consultation to post-operative care, I was in the hands of attentive, professional and caring doctors. Thanks to the dedication and expertise of the team, my recovery went smoothly, with constant support and clear instructions about what lay ahead. Thanks again for the top result and professionalism! I highly recommend it to anyone considering this type of procedure.
