Patient's question:
X-ray for a baby of your age. But many people say it will damage cells and interfere 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? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hello, you mentioned that it is a 4-month-old male baby who needs an X-ray. There are concerns about damage to cells and interference with the growth and development of the reproductive system.Speculation: If the disease is confirmed, the baby can have an X-ray, but it should be minimized as much as possible. During the X-ray, lead shielding can be used to protect the genital area.
The exposure from the X-ray is temporary and will not remain in the body.
