Patient's question:
I am 3 months pregnant. Since it is winter now, I prefer to eat warm food. At home, I mostly eat hot pot using a induction cooker. However, I heard that induction cookers emit a lot of radiation, and I don't know if it will affect the fetus. I would like to ask for advice from a doctor.What kind of help I need: Does the induction cooker affect pregnant women?
Doctor's answer:
During pregnancy, it is best not to use radiation-emitting electrical appliances such as induction cookers, microwave ovens, and computers. Induction cookers have a small amount of electromagnetic radiation, and it is best to avoid using them for long periods during the first three months of pregnancy. This is the stage when the fetus's various organs begin to differentiate and mature, and if used daily, it may potentially affect fetal development.
