Some first-time pregnant women are not sure when to go to the hospital for ultrasound examination, as they have not experienced pregnancy and are not familiar with the schedule of prenatal examination. The initial ultrasound examination is also very important for pregnant women. So, when should we do an ultrasound in the early stages of pregnancy?
1. Women need to undergo ultrasound examination in the early stages of pregnancy, which should be arranged after 5 weeks of pregnancy. At this time, through ultrasound examination, it is possible to observe whether there is gestational sac development in the uterine cavity. Based on the results of this examination, ectopic pregnancy can be ruled out, and it is also possible to understand whether the implantation position of the gestational sac in the uterus is normal.
2. The time for ultrasound examination in the early stages of pregnancy should not be too early, otherwise the development of the gestational sac will be very small and cannot be observed through ultrasound examination. However, it is also not advisable to undergo ultrasound examination for too long during pregnancy, as some women may experience ectopic pregnancy. If ectopic pregnancy is not detected early, it may also rupture the organs and tissues at the site of ectopic pregnancy as the gestational sac grows and develops, leading to dangerous situations such as massive bleeding.
3. In addition, multiple examinations should be performed during the early stages of pregnancy, such as gynecological endoscopy to check for abnormal development of the cervix and vagina, and vaginal discharge examination to rule out vaginal infections such as mold and trichomonas. And these routine examinations are also important for ensuring health during pregnancy, so pregnant women must actively cooperate with multiple examinations in early pregnancy.
