Does transvaginal ultrasound kill fetus?
Patient: i am trying to get pragnant . on day 16 of my cycle i went to my doc and had transvaginal ultrasound and the next day started bleeding and have cramps and pain like period also bled for 3 days. could it be i was in process to get pragnant and transvaginal ultrasound killed the process? Doctor: Hifeel sorry for your condition.transvaginal sonography as such doesnt kill the process. why you went for transvaginal sonography at day 16. are u going for follicuar study.if yes is that mentioned follicle ruptured at or before scans.if follicle ruptured and if chance of pregnancy expected, this type is bleeding is unlikely.it might be an incidental occurence.  excessive manipulation during examination is slightly associated with abortions. dont have all such fears as it is usually done by trained personals.thank youregardsvasundhara
