Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I had a right lower lobe pulmonary 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 children now? Will the CT scans and chest X-rays affect me? Will they affect my ability to have children? Can I have children? Thank youDoctor's answer:
Hello, from the perspective of eugenics, there is 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 color Doppler ultrasound for prenatal anomaly detection. If necessary, at 16-20 weeks, undergo amniocentesis and cord blood analysis to clarify the baby's development inside the womb. It is recommended to keep the baby and undergo regular prenatal examinations. If any abnormalities are found in the baby, terminate the pregnancy in a timely manner.
