Will an ultrasound cause a miscarriage?

Patient's question:

I am pregnant, but my boyfriend wants to take me for a transvaginal ultrasound. I am very worried, and I just want to know if having a transvaginal ultrasound can cause a miscarriage?

Doctor's answer:

If it is confirmed that you are pregnant, then performing this vaginal ultrasound is not allowed. Although this vaginal ultrasound, if operated normally, has little impact, the concern is that the doctor's operation technique may be incorrect, which could then lead to unstable implantation of the fertilized egg and result in the recurrence of miscarriage. Therefore, from the perspective of clinical diagnostic rigor, it is actually not very recommended to engage in this behavior. It is necessary to have control and prevent such actions from being taken.
