No damage.: Ultrasound waves are special sound waves that reflect off tissue to create an image. At the low energy needed for medical pictures, no measurable damage has ever been found.

Ultrasound: Absolutely not. Transvaginal ultrasounds are used to detect early pregnancies or to look for an ectopic pregnancy.
