How long into pregnancy is it appropriate to have an ultrasound examination?

Patient's question:

I am 27 years old this year. In the recent few days, there has been brown discharge from my lower body. I don't know what's going on, and I suspect I might be pregnant. Please ask: When is it appropriate to do an ultrasound during pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, early pregnancy before the 12th week of gestation must include one ultrasound examination. You don't need to do an ultrasound too early; you can wait until it becomes more stable to do so. The main purpose of an ultrasound in early pregnancy is to confirm the presence of early pregnancy and rule out ectopic pregnancy. Follow the doctor's advice on ultrasound examinations during pregnancy and avoid excessive frequency. Finally, in daily life, it's important to maintain a good mood, as a positive attitude is very helpful for recovery from illness.
