Do I Really Need an Ultrasound Scan If My Symptoms Are Mild? - #14878
Last week, I went to the doctor for some mild stomach discomfort and bloating that has been happening on and off for a while. I expected them to suggest diet changes or some basic medicines, but instead, they told me to get an ultrasound scan. I was surprised because my symptoms aren’t severe—no major pain, no fever, just occasional discomfort. I asked if an ultrasound scan was really necessary, but they said it was just to “rule out anything serious.” Now I’m wondering—how do I know when an ultrasound scan is actually needed? Is it just routine, or does it mean they suspect something serious? I don’t want to overreact, but I also don’t want to ignore something important. I’ve been looking into Ayurveda, and I feel like digestive issues could be related to imbalanced doshas rather than something that needs an ultrasound scan. Could this be due to poor digestion, stress, or an unhealthy gut? Are there Ayurvedic methods to diagnose internal issues without an ultrasound scan? Has anyone here been advised to get an ultrasound scan for mild symptoms? Did it actually help find the cause of the issue, or was it unnecessary? Also, are there Ayurvedic herbs or treatments that can help with bloating and digestion naturally?
