Can a doctor make mistakes in diagnosing pregnancy?

You can see pregnancy at an early stage, but sometimes an inexperienced diagnostician can confuse it with a hematoma or other neoplasm. Determining the gestational age or the sex of the child can be erroneous. The reasons for this are as follows:

• short term;

• the presence of hematomas and other formations;

• old, poorly functioning equipment;

• non-professional physician conducting research.

Errors are quite rare. Almost always, with the help of ultrasound, the presence of a fetus can be distinguished. After how many days can I repeat the procedure? The receptionist will inform you about this.

How long does an ultrasound show pregnancy? The first planned procedure is carried out at the 10th week of the interesting position of the fairer sex. But the fertilized egg can be seen already after 5 days of absence of menstruation. What ultrasound is done to recognize conception? The most accurate method is transvaginal, but it is carried out only in the absence of contraindications.
