Does a female ultrasound hurt?

Patient's question:

My sister-in-law is 32 years old this year. She is a person who is particularly afraid of pain. Recently, she took a pregnancy test and found out she was pregnant. The doctor at the hospital asked her to have a transvaginal ultrasound. Is a transvaginal ultrasound painful for women?

Doctor's answer:

Female friends' vaginas are generally wider during sexual activity, so during ultrasound examinations, it usually does not cause pain. However, they may feel symptoms, and it typically takes only a few minutes to detect whether there is gynecological inflammation in a woman's body, whether she is pregnant, or even ovulation and other conditions such as ectopic pregnancy. Therefore, if you have sex, you should enjoy the pleasure, because it will not harm you.
