Could a 13-week scan detect hidden pregnancy after anal penetration?
Patient's Query
I had an intercourse on oct 24th which only includes anal penetration and rubbing at that region. There was no direct contact between penis and vagina. I had bleeding on Nov 8th dec 6th jan 3rd and Feb 2nd and the flow seemed to be normal. Also did a urine pregnancy test on Dec 30 showed negative results and out of my anxiety did an transabdomen ultrasound scan at a clinic on Jan 27 which is above 13 weeks and they said no pregnancy is found. But I'm still anxious and can't convince my self about no pregnancy occurred. My doubt is even if there is a cryptic pregnancy and not found in tests would it have been identified in scan when done around 13 weeks after intercourse? Can it completely rule out pregnancy even in cases of retroverted uterus. Is a transabdomen scan is reliable at 13 weeks to identify pregnancy. Please answer patiently.
Answered by Dr. Himali Patel
It's understandable to feel anxious, but based on your ultrasound and negative pregnancy tests, the likelihood of pregnancy is very low. A transabdominal ultrasound at 13 weeks is generally reliable, and a retroverted uterus would not significantly affect detection. Bleeding can have various causes, including hormonal changes or stress. If anxiety persists, I encourage you to consult a gynecologist for further assessment and peace of mind. They can provide thorough evaluations to address your concerns.
