The first thing you may think of when you hear the word ultrasound maybe pregnancy. Ultrasounds definitely can be used to monitor the development and health of a baby in the womb. In fact, this is one of the most common uses of ultrasound, but on top of this, ultrasounds can ensure you have good general reproductive health. Whether you are pregnant or not, don’t be surprised if your OBGYN pulls out ultrasound technology.
