Patient's question:
Last menstrual period was on November 28, with an irregular cycle. It has been delayed by about 4 days in the recent months. On December 15, I had a dental CT scan. On December 30, my period didn't come, and I realized I was pregnant. Will the CT scan affect the baby?Doctor's answer:
In your case, the contact time was short, so the interference is unlikely to be significant. You don't need to worry too much and can wait and see by carefully observing for a while. I suggest monitoring hCG levels and progesterone values during early pregnancy. After five weeks, you can have a color ultrasound to check the development of the gestational sac. At eight weeks, you should check for fetal heartbeat and embryonic development. This advice is for the question "Last menstrual period was November 28, with an irregular cycle." I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
