Why after having a pelvic ultrasound did I need to have a transvaginal ultrasound immediately?
If you are in the early stages of a pregnancy, a transvaginal ultrasound is preferred over a transabdominal ultrasound (scanning through the top of the lower abdomen) because a transvaginal ultrasound provides much more detail and accuracy in assessing a fetus. Early on in pregnancy, the baby is extremely small, only a few millimeters long in the first few weeks. A transvaginal ultrasound will allow the doctor to see the baby's heart beat, even at 5 weeks old in the womb, whereas a transabdominal ultrasound would have an extremely hard time seeing something so tiny. If you are NOT pregnant, and you had t have this type of exam, this is nothing out of he ordinary. Sometimes, during a transabdominal ultrasound, gas from your stomach and bowel can get in the way, making it very hard to see organs such as the uterus and ovaries. If you do not have a full bladder, it will be nearly impossible to obtain medically relevant images through your stomach. A transvaginal ultrasound does not need a full bladder nor does it rely so much on the absence of bowel gas. In this case, it also provides much greater detail than a transabdominal ultrasound.
Should you worry if the doctor did a transvaginal ultrasound at a little over 4 weeks and saw nothing?
no because the fetus is probably hiding so just keep up with your u/s and hopefully next time something should be detected but the next time you go and your positive your pregnant and nothing shows up then you go to the hospital
What materials for heartbeat?
stopwatch or something game sister or brother
How much water should you drink before an ultrasound?
Ultrasound uses sound, or more accurately, sound waves or vibrations, to travel through a medium of some sort to image what is within that medium. Not unlike radar, some of the sound waves bounce off of things within that medium allowing them to be seen. In example, the dividing line between muscle and bone can be thought of as an interface, something the sound waves can bounce off of. The change in density from muscle to bone, allows the bone to be image. Most ultrasound systems are designed to work best in water environments. This is because most of the solid parts of a body, including organs, bones, and other things, reside in, or are made up of mostly water. Water can carry sound waves better than air. Therefore, water-favoring ultrasound system can’t image well in air. For a water-based ultrasound system, air can act like a barrier to the sound waves. And, much like a brick wall stops you from seeing what is on the other side of the wall, air can prevent ultrasound from seeing what is there. By drinking water, one reduces the amount of air in the stomach and, therefore, improves the image quality of the ultrasound in that region of your body. However, there are other systems that use sound to image such things as geologic features underground, or things within the air (like the natural imaging bats do using sound). So, what you want to see or image, determines the type of sound-imaging system used.
Can you urinate blood after an abdominal ultrasound?
NO an abdominal sonogram/ultrasound will not cause youto urinate blood. If you had that symptom before it was caused by something other than the ultrasound. An ultrasound is a test using high frequency sound waves to take images of your internal organs
What does ultrasound show?
There are literally hundreds, if not thousands of conditions that an ultrasound can help diagnose. If you are looking for something more specific, I will need more information to answer your question.
Is something wrong if I'm 7 weeks pregnant and fetus has an irregular heartbeat?
no
Can you have a normal pregnancy with one sack with nothing in it and another with something but no heartbeat i am 40?
It might be too early to see the heartbeat or the other baby. so yes.
Can you listen to baby's heartbeat with something I can buy at the store?
Yes you can buy something to listen to your baby's heartbeat at a store, I saw 3 different models of the Doppler at the motherhood clothing store, or try some online stores
Why would a gynecologist request that you have an internal ultrasound if you are not pregnant?
It depends on if you are complaining about pain in a certain location of your body and they feel something, or if they are giving you an exam and you tell them what part is hurting you when they touch it. An ultrasound could possibly reveal something harmful.
Should you worry because they had a hard time finding the heart beat?
Listening for the fetal heartbeat is routine during a pregnancy appointment. Usually if a medical professional does not hear the heartbeat they will conduct an abdominal ultrasound to access the health of the unborn baby. It is unlikely that a doctor would not investigate further if they are unable to hear a heartbeat especially 6 weeks or more into the pregnancy. Less than 6 weeks a doctor may not be concerned yet about not hearing the fetal heartbeat and simply wait until the next prenatal visit to listen for it again.
Can you know something before you are born?
Actually you do. Babies know the sound of their mother's voice and heartbeat.
