Patient's question:
Born without rest, around 40 days later, I went to the hospital for a check-up. They said... They performed a chest X-ray, but the results were unclear. Another X-ray was done, which showed a left clavicle fracture that had healed abnormally.Doctor's answer:
X-rays have teratogenic effects, especially during the embryonic period. That is, the most sensitive period for radiation damage is 3-8 weeks after conception, when congenital defects are more likely to occur. However, under routine conditions, the average dose of radiation exposure to the fetus during physical examinations and chest X-rays is less than the teratogenic dose, and the risk of teratogenicity is low. It is very necessary to strengthen fetal monitoring during pregnancy. The occurrence of pediatric fractures severely affects the patient's health. In addition to timely treatment, patients need to pay more attention to daily care. It is important to protect the affected area, maintain a balanced diet, and avoid or reduce the chances of occurrence.
