Transvaginal sonogram safe if placenta previa?
10 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes.: A transvaginal sonogram is typically the best way to diagnose placenta previa. The exam should be gentle and fairly fast. There may be some spotting after the exam. But, it is considered safe.

With care, yes.: Carefully performed transvaginal sonograms can help confirm and delineate placenta previa diagnosed by transabdominal sonography. Only skilled operators should attempt this, though, as vaginal bleeding can be prompted by the ultrasound probe.
