During pregnancy, women often need to go to the hospital for examinations, such as Down syndrome screening, ultrasound, etc., which are very important examination items. However, some examinations can have an impact on the fetus, such as X-ray examinations. Many women are concerned that undergoing ultrasound may pose a risk to the fetus. So, is it safe to have an ultrasound when pregnant too early?
Ultrasound is a very safe examination method, even in the early stages of pregnancy, it is safe to undergo ultrasound examination. As long as pregnant women do not undergo ultrasound examinations very frequently, it will not cause any harm to the fetus, so pregnant friends do not need to worry too much.
Women need to undergo an ultrasound examination in the early stages of pregnancy. This is to observe the condition of the fetus, such as whether it is an intrauterine pregnancy, whether there is fetal heart rate or fetal bud. Some women may experience low levels of HCG during pregnancy, which may be caused by ectopic pregnancy. At this time, an ultrasound examination should be performed.
If a gestational sac is found in the uterine cavity, it belongs to intrauterine pregnancy, and ectopic pregnancy can be ruled out at this time. Some women may experience vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain in the early stages of pregnancy, which may be caused by miscarriage. It is also necessary to undergo timely ultrasound examination to confirm whether the fetus is alive. If the fetus does not die, the doctor will take measures to protect the pregnancy for the pregnant woman. If fetal death is found, it is necessary to have an abortion in a timely manner.
