Patient's question:
Today, I had an X-ray taken because of my cervical discomfort. However, we want to have a child in April. I have a question: Can we proceed? If we do, what impact will it have on the child?Doctor's answer:
X-rays, although the exposure dose to humans is very small each time, can damage the reproductive cells in the body. Even a small amount can cause abnormal changes in the chromosomes of oocytes or genetic mutations. Women who have undergone X-ray fluoroscopy should wait for 4 weeks before becoming pregnant, as it is safer. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman's life but can also lead to the development of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have an ultrasound examination in the gynecology department of the hospital to identify the cause and then receive symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to personal hygiene and keep the skin of the perineum clean.
