Why is ultrasound recommended instead of transvaginal ultrasound for threatened miscarriage?

Patient's question:

Hello, after I got pregnant, I now have brown discharge indicating a miscarriage. The doctor said this is a sign of threatened miscarriage. Why is it recommended to do an ultrasound instead of a transvaginal ultrasound for threatened miscarriage?

Doctor's answer:

After getting pregnant, it is best to use transvaginal ultrasound as little as possible for careful examination. After all, this is about reaching the cervix. Some people may experience skin irritation. Therefore, it is recommended to do an abdominal ultrasound in your case. During normal pregnancy, it is best to use abdominal ultrasound instead of transvaginal ultrasound for careful examination. The patient can use the above methods as supplementary treatment while receiving regular medical treatment. In daily diet, it is crucial to avoid excessive hunger or fullness, and never overeat.
