My doppler report mentions PI and RI and im sitting here googling everything. 28 weeks now. Doc said all normal but i still wanna understand kya hota hai ye. Anyone who knows?
During my IVF journey, every scan brought new terms to worry about. These numbers just show how well the blood is flowing to your little miracle. Stay calm and speak to your doctor for peace of mind.
I had high BP during my pregnancy, so we had to monitor PI and RI closely to ensure the baby was getting enough blood. Please show the report to your doctor as they can guide you best.
My doctor at Cloudnine explained that PI and RI measure blood flow in the placenta. The hospital staff was super helpful, so I highly recommend just asking your doctor to explain the numbers directly.
Honestly, don't waste time googling these medical terms as it only causes unnecessary panic. Just ask your doctor directly during your next quick appointment to clarify what the numbers mean for you.
I am trying to conceive and keep learning about these terms. Is it part of the normal routine scans or is it only done in specific weeks? Hope someone can explain simply.
These indices basically check the blood flow resistance between you and the baby. It's a standard part of Doppler scans, but interpreting them is best left to your gynecologist as values vary.
Don't panic seeing these terms. PI is pulsatility index and RI is resistive index, checking blood flow. Your gynac will look at the overall scan, so just trust their assessment.
