Patient's question:
I am 55 days pregnant. Sometimes I feel a slight pain in the lower abdomen, either on the left or right side, but it's not severe. I went to see a doctor, who immediately ordered an ultrasound and prescribed medication to support the pregnancy. I heard that ultrasound can also affect the embryo, so I didn't have it done. The explanation is that the pain is due to the uterus expanding and pulling, is it normal?Medical history: None
Duration and onset of this illness: 4-5 days
Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your situation, mild abdominal pain during early pregnancy is a normal physiological phenomenon and there is no need to worry too much about it being related to the fetus growing and pressing.Suggestions: For this condition, it is still recommended to rest more for a while. During the first three months, pay attention to folic acid supplementation, and regularly undergo prenatal check-ups. If the abdominal pain becomes severe, it is important to be cautious of the possibility of threatened miscarriage. It is advised that you visit a gynecologist at the hospital for a thorough examination to determine if you have this condition. If so, active treatment to preserve the pregnancy will help improve the situation.
