Patient's question:
Please ask if a chest X-ray taken without knowing if you were pregnant could affect the child? First follow-up question: Later, I found out that I was pregnant. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, during the menstrual period, if a chest X-ray is performed, it should not have been pregnancy at that time, so it will not affect the embryo. As long as there is no chest X-ray after pregnancy, it will not be affected. Ultrasound has no effect on the embryo and can be performed during pregnancy. At least the pregnancy occurred after that menstrual period. If there was no chest X-ray after that, it can be considered. In fact, the requirements are not very strict, just do not undergo X-ray examination in the first three months of pregnancy, because this is the most critical time for development. It is okay to have it after that.
