Patient's question:
Patient Gender: I am a long-term computer worker. Recently, I want to have a child. Please ask if computers can affect fetal growth.Doctor's answer:
With the increasing scope of computer applications, women have more opportunities to operate computers. Due to the electromagnetic radiation, noise, and inappropriate lighting in computer rooms and computer labs, there is electronic equipment pollution. It has been reported that the radiation emitted by computer monitors during operation can damage the division and reproduction of plant cells, and may cause harm to the fine structure of embryos in the early stages of pregnancy. Therefore, women who frequently use computers should avoid using them after becoming pregnant to reduce the harm electromagnetic waves may bring to both the mother and the fetus. If, during the second trimester (24 weeks), women still need to use computers due to work requirements, they should maintain a distance of one arm's length from the computer and two arm's lengths from others' computers.
