Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. How can I induce labor?Doctor's answer:
You can climb stairs moderately to stimulate contractions. Alternatively, you can do squats indoors while holding onto a table or chair at an appropriate height. Be sure to squat slowly and don’t get too tense when contractions occur. Labor contractions are rhythmic. If you experience bleeding or water breaking, go to the hospital immediately.Vaginal ultrasound, also known as transvaginal ultrasound or endovaginal ultrasound, involves placing an ultrasound probe inside the vagina to examine the ovaries, uterus, and other pelvic organs. The advantage is that it doesn’t require the same amount of water intake as abdominal ultrasound, where the bladder must be completely full before the exam. Vaginal ultrasound is a type of ultrasound that provides clearer and more accurate images than abdominal ultrasound, and it has no adverse effects on the body.
Vaginal ultrasound, also called transvaginal ultrasound or endovaginal ultrasound, inserts a long probe into the vagina or rectum to observe pelvic organs. Compared to abdominal ultrasound, the images are clearer and more detailed, and the examinee doesn’t need to “hold in urine.” Married individuals are examined through the vagina, while unmarried individuals may undergo the exam through the rectum.
