Cervical ultrasound
Objectives:
- Assessment of the risk of premature birth
- Detection of too deep, in front of the cervix located blood vessels (vasa praevia) or placenta areas (placenta praevia)
Cervical length measurement by vaginal and abdominal ultrasound is particularly essential when
- there is a risk of preterm labor or premature birth in a pregnancy,
-
there is a twin pregnancy, or
- cervical or uterine surgeries have been performed.
The risk of premature birth due to a shortened cervix can thus be minimized by timely measures, if necessary. We perform a cervical ultrasound as part of the organ screening.
- You will receive the results immediately after the examination.
Corona safety measures
The highest possible Corona safety standards are our top priority. Therefore, we request that you come to the Prenatal Center only for an agreed appointment. One companion is welcome.
Invoicing and payment
After the respective examination you will receive an invoice. You can pay us by debit or credit card at your convenience.
Your ultrasound images are immediately available to you digitally
A special EDP program makes it possible to transmit the ultrasound images and video sequences to a cell phone number or an Email address of your choice by means of a secure link. Thus, if you wish, you can get the images immediately on your smartphone.
Information on twin pregnancies
Even though twin pregnancies usually proceed without major complications, they are classified as high-risk pregnancies from a medical perspective. We have compiled information on possible risks and tips for expectant mothers of twins.
