Patient's question:
I got married on October 1st. My husband drank alcohol about 10 times in this month, each time in small amounts, around 2 two-liang of baijiu or less than 2 bottles of beer. The last time was on November 7th in the evening when he drank 3 two-liang of dry red wine.We want to have a baby this month. Is it possible to conceive this month? How much impact would it have on the child?
During work hours, we use computers a lot. Is radiation also a factor? Are anti-radiation clothing really effective?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, drinking alcohol may have some impact on sperm quality, but the effect on children is still uncertain.Pregnant women who are exposed to computers for a long time are not conducive to fetal development and may easily lead to miscarriage. The terminal of a computer is a monitor, and its principle is the same as a television. When the electron beam emitted by the cathode ray tube strikes the fluorescent screen, it is converted into visible light. In this process, harmful X-rays are generated, but the glass casing of the VDT can absorb a large amount of radiation, so the actual radiation exposure to the human body is very small. However, low-frequency electromagnetic fields are also generated around the VDT. In experiments, this electromagnetic field can interfere with cell metabolism and proliferation at the cellular membrane level, thus affecting normal embryonic development. Survey results show that among women who use computers for a long time, the incidence of early natural miscarriage is higher.
Additionally, sitting in a fixed posture in front of the computer for a long time will affect the cardiovascular and nervous system functions of pregnant women, and the pelvic floor muscles and levator ani muscles will also be strained, potentially hindering a smooth delivery. Therefore, once a woman becomes pregnant, especially in the early stages of pregnancy, she should avoid prolonged computer use as much as possible.
