Patient's question:
I just got pregnant, and there is a copier in the office. I've been copying documents all day. I'm wondering if being in this environment will affect the fetus. Sometimes I also go to the copier to make some copies myself (in small amounts). How great is the impact on the fetus in this situation?Doctor's answer:
Hello, there will be some impact. It is recommended to keep the windows open and place more green plants inside the house, especially radiation-preventing plants like cacti and aloe vera. You can also place a pot of water, which will be beneficial to you. Moreover, if it is confirmed that it is an intrauterine pregnancy, and there is a small amount of bleeding, it could be considered as threatened miscarriage. It is important to have progesterone and blood HCG tests promptly to understand if the hormones are normal, and then take targeted measures to prevent miscarriage. These two hormones, if too low in the early stages of pregnancy, can cause threatened miscarriage.
