What is the role of ultrasound examinations in evaluating and diagnosing the causes of bleeding during pregnancy?

12mo trước

Dear user, thank you for your question! Ultrasound examinations are critical in evaluating bleeding in pregnancy. For example, in the case of placenta previa where the placenta is implanted too near the cervix, the diagnosis is made through ultrasound by measuring the distance between the cervix and the placenta. This diagnosis will seriously affect the obstetrician's decision on the mode of delivery to avoid heavy bleeding during labour.
