Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am a 59 year old female, have had some discomfort on my left side for about 30 days. I had a sonogram today and the tech took measurements and several photos on a specific area. Tech said they would get back with me in 24 hours. I am nervous to say the least, what could this be?
The tech who performs the sonogram, is not necessarily a doctor and, depending on the country you live in, they most probably will need a doctor's opinion, interpretation and confirmation in order to give you an answer. This does not mean there is something wrong. Try not to be nervous and think positive.
Wishing you all the best.
