Patient's question:
How much harm do computers and mobile phones pose to pregnant women? Can they still use computers and mobile phones after becoming pregnant? What else should they pay attention to? Please help me........Doctor's answer:
Hello: When operating a computer, electromagnetic radiation can exist around it, including X-rays, ultraviolet rays, visible light, infrared rays, and electromagnetic fields of extremely high frequency, high frequency, medium frequency, and extremely low frequency. There are also electrostatic fields. However, the intensity of their emission is very weak, far below the values required by current national and international health standards. A decade of tracking surveys have shown 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 should not be used to "condemn" computers. To this day, foreign experts have not provided scientific evidence that computers can affect fetuses. Therefore, he advises some expectant fathers and mothers that there is no need to "fear computers" during pregnancy, as normal computer use 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.
Mobile phone calls transmit signals using high-frequency electromagnetic waves, and the surrounding area of the transmission antenna has microwave radiation (300 MHz–300 GHz). If the microwave radiation from a mobile phone exceeds the national microwave health standards, it can be harmful to the human body. High-intensity radiation is absorbed by the body at a rate of 40%, causing organs to heat up. For example, if the uterus of a pregnant woman
