A member asked:
Will i need to remove a belly button piercing for a pelvic ultrasound?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
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.
