How big does the gestational sac need to be to see the fetal pole?

Patient's question:

It's very frightening when this happens. I often experience lower abdominal pain and don't know how to solve it, so I came here to consult. Could you please tell me at what size of gestational sac can the embryo be seen?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, it is necessary to wait at least 6 weeks to see the yolk sac. It is recommended that you postpone the re-examination by one or two weeks to see if it improves. If no highly toxic drugs were taken during pregnancy, there is no need to worry. It is better to wait two weeks for the re-examination. You should pay attention to drinking more water, engaging in appropriate exercise, and consuming more coarse fiber foods such as vegetables and fruits. Avoid prolonged bed rest or long periods of sitting. When lying in bed, you can apply massage to the abdomen to promote bowel movements.
