There is no need as such to empty the bowel before an ultrasound. But you can empty your bowel if you feel the urge to empty it. Full bladder is needed so that your bladder and pelvis organs can be assessed better.

Yeah you can if you have urged to urinate but For better  viewing of  the bladder and pelvic organ then fullness of bladder is required So drink water You should take consultation before go to any  diagnostic procedures.
