Can ultrasound could cause cancer or any other disease if not done safely?
Question:
Answers:
no, i wouldnt think so. ultrasounds are sound waves, not radiation, set to a certain frequency. they are used by doctors to obtain an image of people's insides and also for muscle therapy. the waves create an image by bouncing back off surfaces and forming an image. This process is also used by bats - it's called echolocation. So yes, unless you've heard things like a note tuned to a certain frequency having the ability to alter things in the body (which i'm pretty sure is just a myth) you need not worry!! Hope this helps!
An ultrasound can not cause cancer. It is simply echoing sound inside you to gain a picture - it is effecting the atoms in any way other than making them vibrate.
Your friend was a bit misinformed I'm afraid. Worst that can happen is the baby will be effected, but that shouldn't generally happen.
Unusual pains are common during pregnancy but either way see a doctor and ask him about it - he most likely will be able to answer it better than less qualified people on YouQA.com .
An ultrasound does not 'cause' cancer or even place you at risk. Ultrasound has been used safely to produce images from inside the body for over 50 years. Your friend was misinformed if they think it 'causes' cancer. There is no documented evidence that this procedure harms human beings and because the risk is so minimal ultrasound is often used routinely during pregnancy to monitor the fetus.
There is no sense in worrying about the future, especially since you have only had this done once.
