Patient's question:
Recently, I plan to have a child. What should both husband and wife pay attention to? I often use a computer, will it affect the child? Also, can the wife exercise at the gym during pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Does the use of computers by expectant fathers and mothers have any adverse effects on the development of the baby?When operating a computer, electromagnetic radiation can exist around it, including X-rays, ultraviolet rays, visible light, infrared light, and electromagnetic fields of extremely high frequency, high frequency, medium frequency, and extremely low frequency, as well as static electric fields. However, the intensity of their emissions is very weak, far below the current health standards required by China and international standards. A decade of tracking surveys show that the electromagnetic radiation emitted by computers is very small and is safe for the human body, including pregnant women, as well as for sperm, eggs, zygotes, embryos, and fetuses. In real life, the occurrence of miscarriages or the birth of malformed fetuses among some computer operators is a phenomenon and cannot be used to "condemn" computers. To this day, foreign experts have not presented scientific evidence that computers affect fetuses. Therefore, he advises that some expectant fathers and mothers need not "fear computers" and that normal use of computers before and during pregnancy will not affect your little baby.
(1) The radiation emitted by computers is far below the international standards, posing no threat to adults.
(2) During the first three months of pregnancy, when the fetus is in a sensitive period of cell division and organ differentiation, radiation protection is necessary:
1. Keep at least one meter away from the computer.
2. Wear protective clothing.
3. Take a shower and change clothes after finishing work.
