Is Bleeding During Transvaginal Ultrasound Unsafe In Early Pregnancy?

I am 4-5 weeks pregnant. I started having a pinkish discharge on Monday. I went to my OB and they did a transvaginal ultrasound. During the ultrasound, they were jabbing and causing extreme pain. 6 hours later, I started having red blood and have not stopped. Is it possible that they caused a perforation and if they did, what will that do to my pregnancy?

Hi,
I have read your query & understand your concern.
First thing, trans vaginal probe has a blunt( rounded ) tip.. & it mostly does not cause injury inside/ is not likely to harm pregnancy. The pain you had mostly is due to un co operation from your side ( not keeping the body relaxed )
They must have found cause of the bleeding.They also mention pregnancy status they have found while doing USG.. your doctor will advise medicines accordingly.please contact your doctor & get specific consultation .
Till then, take rest, don't massage or foment abdomen.
Thanks.
thanks.
