The baby had an X-ray, but many people say it will damage cells and affect reproduction.

Patient's question:

X-ray for a baby of [age]. But many people say it damages cells and interferes with the perinatal period? Will it stay in the body and cause what kind of issues? The child is so young? Then how long will the radiation stay in the body?

Doctor's answer:

The term "taking pictures" refers to scanning and CT detection. These detailed examinations involve a certain amount of X-ray radiation hazard, but the radiation dose for a single imaging examination is still very small, and the duration is relatively short. Under normal circumstances, the self-repairing ability of the human body will not cause significant interference. However, unnecessary imaging examinations should be avoided. When a baby is feeling unwell, it is essential to go to a regular hospital and follow the doctor's advice, using appropriate and effective methods. Trust the doctor's diagnosis and do not make hasty decisions on your own, as this may lead to poor outcomes and worsen the condition.
