The concept of preparing for pregnancy is highly valued by young people nowadays, so both spouses are very cautious about all aspects of life during the preparation period. Due to the presence of certain radiation, many people are concerned that X-rays may cause radiation damage to their bodies. During the preconception period, they are particularly concerned about whether X-rays can be taken during the preconception period.
Can X-rays be taken during pregnancy preparation
X-ray T is actually called ionizing radiation. When it penetrates the human body, it is absorbed by calcium containing components such as bones, water (blood), soft tissues (muscles), etc. We use the different absorption to capture images of varying intensity, thus forming X-rays. The germ cells and egg cells in the human body are highly sensitive to ionizing radiation. Research data shows that after receiving high doses of ionizing radiation, semen quality typically reaches its lowest point 4-6 months after exposure and takes 10-18 months to fully recover.
That is to say, receiving high-dose radiation in a short period of time or long-term low-dose radiation may lead to male infertility and even increase the risk of fetal malformation. So it's best not to take extra photos during the preparation period. If you feel unwell, postpone the preparation period!
How long does it usually take to conceive
Pregnant women who are preparing for pregnancy can use early pregnancy test strips about 2 weeks after sexual intercourse. If the second line appears, it means they are pregnant, otherwise they are not. There are many cases of false pregnancy due to excessive stress and pressure, which can cause vomiting and delayed menstruation. But sometimes even if the second line is detected, menstruation will still come, not because the test strip is not easy to use, but because you are already pregnant, but due to the low quality of sperm and egg, the combination is not successful, but it will be easy to have a baby in the second month.
In fact, these X-rays and infrared scans that can be used in daily life will not cause harm to the body. Of course, in order to achieve optimal fertility and pregnancy, it is necessary to consult a doctor for these tests. If you are worried, you can postpone the pregnancy preparation time. You can also do a preconception test before preparing for pregnancy to see if your physical condition is suitable for it.
