Patient's question:
I had a prenatal examination on November 13th, which confirmed my pregnancy. However, on October 31st, I had an X-ray taken due to lower back pain. I am very concerned about whether this will affect the fetus. My last menstrual period was on October 13th. What methods can be used to detect if the fetus has any abnormalities?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, the radiation from X-rays is relatively high. Therefore, your situation increases the likelihood of an impact on the fetus, but it doesn't necessarily mean that an effect will definitely occur. Thus, if you plan to keep this child, you should undergo regular prenatal check-ups and screenings at different stages, observe the fetal development based on the results, and then make a decision accordingly.
