Patient's question:
Doctor, hello!My wife recently had a check-up and found out she is pregnant. She had an X-ray 20 days ago due to a fall and took pain medication. Could these have any impact on the baby? Please reply quickly. Thank you!
First follow-up question: She had the X-ray and took medication before realizing she was pregnant—it was just that her period didn’t come this month, so she got tested at the hospital and found out she was pregnant.
Doctor's answer:
Perspective, though not very good for the baby, is not a major issue. The main thing is to know what medications your wife has taken and what the ingredients of those medications are to determine if they are truly harmful to the child. Additionally, it would be best to clarify when your wife's last menstrual period was and when she started taking the medication before making a decision. Generally, doctors recommend that women with potential prenatal examination risks pay attention to keeping warm and avoiding coldness. Furthermore, patients should also ensure a comfortable environment, which is beneficial for rest. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
