My doctor recommended a kidney ultrasound for my father because of some abdominal pain. I'm a bit worried about it. Is it one of those tests where they put the probe inside, or is it done from the outside, like a regular sonography?

A kidney ultrasound is almost always external only. They put some gel on your stomach area and move the transducer over it. It's quite simple and non-invasive, no need to worry. Done it twice for my general checkup.

Don't trust any random information you get online without verification. For a kidney ultrasound, it's typically external. But for any medical procedure, always ask your doctor or the lab directly. They will give you accurate details and preparation instructions, not anonymous internet strangers.

From my experience, kidney ultrasounds are always done externally. They just move the machine over your tummy and back. It doesn't hurt at all, just feels a bit cold with the gel. Don't worry, it's a very common and simple test.
