Bleeding and pain are experienced by 20% of women during the first trimester of pregnancy. Although most pregnancies complicated by pain and bleeding tend to progress normally, these symptoms are distressing for woman, and they are also associated with an increased risk of miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy. Ultrasound is the first and often the only diagnostic modality that is used to determine location of early pregnancy and to assess its health. Ultrasound is an accurate, safe, painless and relatively inexpensive diagnostic tool, which all contributed to its widespread use in early pregnancy. Pain and bleeding in early pregnancy are sometimes caused by concomitant gynaecological, gastrointestinal, and urological problems, which could also be detected on ultrasound scan. In women with suspected intra-abdominal bleeding, ultrasound scan can be used to detect the presence of blood and provide information about the extent of bleeding. In this chapter, we comprehensively review the use of ultrasound in the diagnosis and management of early pregnancy complications. We include information about the diagnosis of gynaecological and other pelvic abnormalities, which could cause pain or bleeding in pregnancy. We also provide a summary of the current views on the safety of ultrasound in early pregnancy.
20%的孕妇在怀孕早期会经历出血和疼痛。尽管大多数伴有疼痛和出血的妊娠往往会正常进展,但这些症状令女性感到痛苦,而且还与流产和宫外孕的风险增加有关。超声是用于确定早期妊娠位置和评估其健康状况的首选且通常是唯一的诊断方式。超声是一种准确、安全、无痛且相对廉价的诊断工具,这也是其在早孕中广泛应用的原因。早孕时的疼痛和出血有时是由同时存在的妇科、胃肠道和泌尿科问题引起的,这些问题也可以在超声扫描中检测到。对于疑似腹腔内出血的女性,超声扫描可用于检测血液的存在并提供有关出血程度的信息。在本章中,我们全面回顾了超声在早期妊娠并发症诊断和管理中的应用。我们包括了可导致妊娠疼痛或出血的妇科和其他盆腔异常的诊断信息。我们还总结了目前对早孕超声安全性的看法。
