A member asked:
Can multiple ultrasounds in a short period of time cause cancer? (transvag & abdominal) ???
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO!!!: Ultrasound has been shown to be the safest imaging of all. It is simply sound waves sent into the body and reflected back by the different densities of different body tissues. The waves that are sent back are measured by a transducer. It is NOT radiation based. That's why its been used on pregnant women for decades. Super Safe!!!
