In modern society, many female friends who have normal sexual activity and do not have contraception usually use a pregnancy test stick to check if they are pregnant if their menstrual cycle is delayed for a long time. So, can I take an ultrasound after two months of amenorrhea?
Obstetrics experts point out that after pregnancy, it is generally believed that if the duration of amenorrhea is less than 18 weeks, it is not recommended to undergo ultrasound examination. Because ultrasound examination is performed in early pregnancy, especially within 2 months of pregnancy, and if the number of examinations is too high, it is likely to cause the division of embryonic cells, affecting brain development and even having adverse effects on the mother. But after early pregnancy, around 18-20 weeks, it is time to undergo an ultrasound examination to determine the growth and development of the fetus.
Although it is not suitable to undergo ultrasound examination within 18 weeks of pregnancy, pregnant women with special circumstances are excluded. For example, in the event of abnormal conditions such as ectopic pregnancy or molar pregnancy, or other abnormal pregnancies, the decision to continue the pregnancy of the fetus needs to be made through ultrasound examination.
This is related to whether the fetus can develop healthily in the uterus, and it needs to be treated with more caution. Ultrasound in the late stage of pregnancy can observe the development and growth of the fetus, providing more accurate basis for early diagnosis and intervention of congenital malformations and other diseases in the fetus.
