How long after menopause can I do B-ultrasound

We all know that one of the signs of early pregnancy is amenorrhea. Many women who have normal menstruation and are in the pregnancy preparation stage use the absence of menstruation as a small criterion to determine whether they are pregnant. After menopause, we will first use a test strip to test, and then go to the hospital to check whether we are pregnant. And after the menopause confirms the pregnancy, B-ultrasound examination should be done. Many women only know that there is B-ultrasound examination, but do not know when to do it. How long after menopause should I wait to do an ultrasound?

B-ultrasound examination is a test that needs to be done after menopause has confirmed pregnancy. Some expectant mothers may incorrectly believe that the sooner the ultrasound is done after menopause, the better. In fact, this is not the case. Because the first eight weeks of pregnancy is a critical stage for the formation of each organ of the fetus, and this stage is also a very easy stage to cause fetal malformations, so B-ultrasound examination is generally not necessary. However, an ultrasound examination is necessary if the following conditions occur before eight weeks of pregnancy: abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding, and abnormal pregnancy needs to be ruled out; uterine fibroids or pelvic masses before pregnancy; the time of amenorrhea cannot be determined, and the pregnancy days cannot be accurately determined based on clinical symptoms and symptoms.

Regarding the question of how long to wait after menopause to do an ultrasound, generally the first ultrasound examination should be eight weeks after menopause, and a normal B-ultrasound will be sufficient, without the need for a vaginal ultrasound or B-ultrasound. The purpose of doing B-ultrasound is to check whether it is an ectopic pregnancy, and the other is to check the size of the gestational sac and whether there is an initial cardiac tube beat.

For women with normal menstruation, that is, women whose normal menstrual cycle is about 28-30 days, an ultrasound test can be done 35 days after the menstruation stops to check whether they are pregnant. However, it is recommended to do a transvaginal ultrasound at this time. By comparing transvaginal ultrasound with transabdominal ultrasound, intrauterine pregnancy can be detected earlier. Generally, the gestational sac can be detected by transvaginal ultrasound around 35 days after the menstruation stops. Around 42 days after menstruation, the embryo and fetal heart rate can be detected through abdominal ultrasound. At 49 days after menstruation, which is about 7 weeks, ultrasound can detect fetal heartbeat fluctuations, and only then can it be considered a true live fetus in the uterine cavity. After confirming the presence of a live fetus in the uterine cavity, if there are no special circumstances, an NT test can be performed around 12 weeks of pregnancy, which is a test method to rule out malformations.

Warm reminder: For expectant mothers who have confirmed their pregnancy after menopause and have no special symptoms in their bodies, they can do B-ultrasound examination without rushing to ensure the normal growth and development of the fetus. B-ultrasound examination can be done eight weeks after menstruation, so that you can have a more detailed understanding of the condition of the fetus.
