Patient's question:
I am 27 years old this year. It seems like my water broke today, and I feel very uncomfortable. Please ask; can ultrasound detect a high position water break?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, through doing an ultrasound, it is possible to carefully check for PROM (preterm premature rupture of membranes). However, if you notice fluid leakage during the late stages of pregnancy, you should carefully observe it. Typically, if it is amniotic fluid, it will be a translucent secretion with no odor, and the fluid will flow continuously. If this situation occurs again, it is best to have your family take you to the hospital.
