How long after a CT scan can you get pregnant?

Patient's question:

How long should one wait to conceive after a CT scan? Is it necessary to wait for half a year?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, CT scans produce small amounts of X-rays, and X-rays have certain biological effects on the human body, which can affect health. For this reason, from the perspective of eugenics, we recommend waiting for at least 3 months after undergoing such examinations before becoming pregnant. This is because 3 months is a complete cycle for the formation of egg cells, allowing us to avoid the negative effects of CT scans.
