A member asked:

Will i need to remove a belly button piercing for a pelvic ultrasound?

Dr. Miguel Cano answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Nope: An ultrasound can still be performed with an umbilical piercing. Sometimes a transvaginal ultrasound offers more information making your piercing a mute point. I do recommend their removal with pregnancy since the pigment changes you can get are often permanent.
