What is the advantage of transvaginal ultrasound over abdominal ultrasound?

In the first trimester, the doctor goes for a transvaginal ultrasound rather than abdominal ultrasound. The transvaginal ultrasound provides you the most accurate information given the fact that the early developing gestational sac and the fetal pole are extremely small during the early days of pregnancy. A transvaginal ultrasound gives you a clear picture of pregnancy.

How is the ultrasound done?

In the transvaginal ultrasound, the doctor inserts a tiny probe into the vagina. During the scan, the measurement of the yolk sac and the gestational sac are done. The length of the fetal pole and the heartbeat can be examined from this ultrasound. The examination is conducted from many angles so that you get a clear picture of the baby.
