Patient's question:
Family members need to be isolated for one day after taking anesthesia before undergoing a bone scan. Also, it is not advisable to be close to pregnant women and children. I wanted to ask if the male leader, who is not married, will be affected by radiation. Will it affect the quality of sperm for future conception?Doctor's answer:
Before performing bone scanning, specific anesthetic drugs are required for monitoring the procedure. However, these drugs have a certain level of radioactivity. After the subject is carefully examined, they should drink a large amount of water to enhance the drug's metabolism. It is best to avoid contact with children and pregnant women as much as possible. The lead personnel may have indirect contact for a short period, which will not interfere with fertility. However, if planning to conceive, it is recommended to wait for at least three months before considering it.
