Should Ultrasound Cavitation Be Avoided When Pregnant?
I ve seen a few similar posts; however, I had ultrasound cavitation done on my arms within the last week and yesterday found out I m 5 weeks pregnant. Many of the websites prompting this form of weight loss therapy advise against pregnant women using this treatment. I m concerned that it may have altered the cells or caused damage to the embryo. The only journals I can find about the risks talk about potential damage to hearing (given the high pitched sound), which would be later in the fetus s development, but I m having difficulty finding out more. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Hello, ultrasound cavitation is safe in pregnancy but still avoid it in future and also get an ultrasound done at the earliest
