Can a baby hide on an ultrasound?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
No. In the early weeks, up to eight, and rarely nine, the baby may not be seen by an ultrasound. The abdominal scan may miss it, a TVS will usually pick up the baby by 6 weeks , but it too may miss it in this period. But after this, ie after 9 weeks there is no question of the scan missing the baby.

I've noticed a white lump between my anus and vagina. It's not painful, but it's kind of hard and seems like it has a little opening on it. Could you help me understand what this might be and if it's something I should be worried about?
You may have a Bartholin's cyst. I recommend using sitz baths to help reduce the discomfort and swelling. You can also use over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen. If the cyst becomes infected, antibiotics such as ciprofloxacin may be prescribed. If the cyst is large or causing significant symptoms, surgical drainage or removal may be necessary.
