A member asked:

Can a transvaginal ultrasound cause a miscarriage?

Dr. Henry Dorn answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Almost impossible. : Compared to intercourse, which is not known to cause miscarriage, a vaginal ultrasound causes much less "agitation" of the uterus. Although sometimes uncomfortable, it would almost certainly not be associated with risk of miscarriage.
