Can pregnant women use hair dryers

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

It's better for pregnant women to use hair dryers less often. It's not that they can't be used at all. The radiation from hair dryers is quite high. Moreover, when using them, the distance to the head is close, which makes the radiation even stronger. For the baby, if you have a lot of hair and it's long and hard to dry during pregnancy, consider getting a short haircut or washing your hair at noon, and use the hair dryer as little as possible.
