Does ultrasound: when and why
do during pregnancy?
|

During the first quarter
Ultrasound is very important to conduct
only during the first trimester if the
pregnant woman presents: bleeding or
loss of blood or a little brown spots
and why do? To rule out that it is not
abortive eggs, empty egg, a molar
pregnancy or abortion may be retained or
ectopic pregnancy, or insertion of a
leafy chorion (future placenta) in the
bottom of the uterine cavity or a
subcorionico hematoma.
Another indication is if the pregnant
woman has an IUD inserted.
Or this pregnancy is the result of
hormonal stimuli that are made in
infertility and want to know the real
situation of pregnancy and exclude
multiple pregnancy.
Or in the case of the pregnant does not
provide the date of their last menstrual
period and your doctor will want to know
the gestational age of the fetus
accurately.
Another case would be that of a pregnant
woman who has a history of spontaneous
abortion or two abortions and anxiety
manifested in relation to what happens
in this pregnancy and this helps to
allay their anxiety and ill feeling.
And women with a history of prior fetal
anomalies or adults (over 37 years) that
want to search for markers of
chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus
(the so-called genetic sonography) for
the release of syndromes (Down, Turner,
Edwards etc).
These are all indications of ultrasound
during the first quarter of the way and
vaginal examination is a team with very
good resolution and experience of the
doctor will perform accurate and precise
diagnoses.
