Can you have children after a CT scan?

Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I had right lower lobe resection on May 12th. During the surgery, 7 CT scans and 6 chest X-rays were taken. In September after the surgery, another chest X-ray was performed. I would like to ask the experts, can I have a child now? Will CT scans and chest X-rays affect me? Will they affect my ability to have a child? Can I have a child? Thank you

Doctor's answer:

Hello, from the perspective of eugenics, it does have a certain impact, but it does not necessarily lead to malformations.
This situation requires strict prenatal check-ups. At 14-19 weeks of pregnancy, undergo a Down syndrome screening. At 22-26 weeks, have a 4D ultrasound for prenatal anomaly detection. If necessary, at 16-20 weeks, undergo amniocentesis and umbilical cord blood analysis to clarify the baby's development inside the womb. It is recommended to retain the baby and undergo regular prenatal examinations. If any abnormalities are detected in the baby, terminate the pregnancy in a timely manner.
