After pregnancy, women need to pay attention to many things, especially staying away from radiation to avoid affecting the healthy development of the fetus, and in severe cases, it may even lead to deformities. DR is a digital X-ray examination that examines the body's bones, joints, and respiratory system. Does DR examination have any impact on pregnant women?
DR examination has a certain impact on pregnant women because during this examination, a certain amount of radiation is generated, which can stimulate the body and also affect the healthy development of the fetus. Before pregnant women need to undergo any examinations, they should let the doctor know that they are pregnant. If there are some items that are not conducive to fetal development, the doctor will replace them with other examination items, usually conducting a preliminary examination before considering what kind of examination to do.
Of course, many pregnant women may accompany their families for DR examinations. If they have no prior knowledge in this area and blindly undergo the examination, it will affect the health of the fetus. Pregnant women should stay away from radiation related examinations when they go to the hospital, whether they are doing the examination themselves or accompanying others. Usually, there are conspicuous signs outside such examination rooms that pregnant women can see as long as they pay attention.
Pregnant women should not only stay away from hospital radiation tests, but also pay attention to staying away from appliances with high radiation levels, such as microwave ovens. When using them, they should wear radiation resistant clothing or have someone else replace them.
