Ultrasound scans regarding
Respectful Sir/Madam,
Are ultrasound scans safe? Even though they don't use radiation, there is a dilemma about the safety of ultrasound. Do they cause any type of chronic cancers or any other issues? Can we have an ultrasound scan every month for health checks of abdomen and scrotum? Is monthly ultrasound scan advisable for people who care about their health! How many ultrasound scans are safe in the lifetime of an individual? Kindly let know the details and do the needful.
Thanking you,

Ultrasound scan studies are safe without any risk of radiation exposure.If your ultrasound scan report is normal ,you don't have to repeat the scan unless you experience new symptoms. Monthly scans are absolutely unnecessary.
