Overview
There are no ultrasound findings associated with IBS. IBS patients presenting with with postprandial right upper quadrant pain, must undergo an ultra sonogram of the gallbladder to rule out pain due to cholecystitis. Postmenopausal women presenting with constipation, abdominal distension and pain localized to the lower abdomen should undergo trans vaginal and trans abdominal ultrasonography to rule out ovarian cancer.
