Patient's question:
During pregnancy, it is always particularly uncomfortable, and morning sickness is also very severe. Can pregnant women undergo a barium meal examination?Doctor's answer:
X-ray barium meal examination is a type of X-ray examination: X-ray examination includes fluoroscopy, radiography, and contrast media as one of the three methods. X-rays, especially for fetuses and young children, have a certain impact. Therefore, pregnant women in the first three months of pregnancy should avoid X-ray examinations as much as possible, and women in the later stages of pregnancy and infants and young children undergoing X-ray examinations should also pay special attention. However, since it has already been done, there is no need to over-worry. The impact is relative, not absolute. It is best to go to the hospital to check the development of the fetus.
