At 5 weeks of pregnancy, it was still in the early stages of pregnancy. In the early stages of pregnancy, various pregnancy reactions on the pregnant woman's body may not have appeared yet. Many pregnant women hope to know if they are pregnant as soon as possible, so they always hope to have an ultrasound examination earlier, and in order to see the situation in the uterus clearly, they choose a negative ultrasound. So, can I have a vaginal ultrasound at 5 weeks pregnant?
At 5 weeks of pregnancy, it is possible to undergo a vaginal ultrasound. But the problem is, there is no need to do a vaginal ultrasound at five weeks of pregnancy. When a woman is 5 weeks pregnant, just after her menstrual period, the gestational sac has not yet formed. Although the situation inside the uterus is changing, the gestational sac cannot be seen through ultrasound. Generally speaking, the gestational sac can only be seen at six or seven weeks of pregnancy. So at 5 weeks of pregnancy, even if a vaginal ultrasound is used for examination, the gestational sac cannot be seen, only the empty uterus can be seen.
In fact, vaginal ultrasound is a method of examining the condition of the uterus or some organs in the abdomen by inserting an ultrasound probe into the vagina. If the examination is not of the uterus, but of other organs, then a vaginal ultrasound can be performed. However, generally speaking, a vaginal ultrasound may affect the uterus and cause the loss of undeveloped embryos. Therefore, if a woman knows that she is pregnant and is already 5 weeks pregnant, it is best not to undergo a vaginal ultrasound examination.
