Went for abdomen ultrasound and saw that the use same cloth to tuck in abdomen on every one while doing ultrasound They use same cloth on every one won't it harm if some one on period had came for ultrasound and some blood would come in contact with it as they tuck in the same cloth on every one Please help me I am scarred if I have contracted any std as they use same dirty cloth on every people and yes they even clean gel with same cloth.

Hi lybrate-user! your concern is justified from hygiene point of view. But you went too far ahead when you said something about contracting STD from it. Yes, using same cloth for everyone may lead to skin infections, and transmission of skin infections. But even that happens rarely. It's like sitting on the same chair while going to a barber, or a restaurant. If you still feel unhygienic, get a green sheet and ask them to use it for you. I hope it helps. Thank you.
