During the preparation for pregnancy, there are actually many things that women cannot do. If they accidentally do them, they have to postpone the pregnancy time, otherwise it may have adverse effects on pregnancy or the fetus, causing physical and mental damage to women. For example, X-rays are like this. So, is the impact of X-rays on preparation for pregnancy significant? Let's take a closer look below.
Does X-ray have a significant impact on pregnancy preparation?
1. From the perspective of eugenics and fertility, it is not recommended to prepare for pregnancy in the near future because chest X-rays can produce trace amounts of radiation, which may affect the quality of eggs. It is suggested to postpone preparing for pregnancy for two months.
2. X-rays are a type of electromagnetic wave with a very short wavelength, ranging from~10nm to~0.1nm, with great penetration ability. They can make photographic film sensitive, cause certain substances to fluoresce, and free gases. It has a strong destructive effect on the cells of the body.
3. X-rays are widely used in clinical diagnosis and treatment, with a wavelength of 0.08-0.31 angstroms (angstrom A=10-8cm) used for diagnosis. For example, chest X-ray, photography, abdominal plain film, gallbladder imaging, gastrointestinal imaging, and vascular imaging.
How long does it take to get pregnant after taking X-rays?
1. To avoid the impact of X-rays on the next generation, women who undergo X-ray fluoroscopy, especially those with abdominal fluoroscopy, are safer to conceive after 3 months.
2. X-rays can easily damage reproductive cells and chromosomes in the human body. Women should not receive X-ray exposure during the period before pregnancy. Because the irradiation of medical X-rays can kill reproductive cells in the human body.
3. If the menstrual period arrives later than the scheduled time each month and there is suspicion of pregnancy, and it is necessary to undergo X-ray examination, it is important to inform the doctor that there is a possibility of pregnancy and that you have plans to conceive. The doctor will tell the pregnant woman if she can undergo an X-ray examination. When an X-ray examination is necessary, the abdomen should also be shielded.
It can be seen that X-rays have a significant impact on preconception. If the quality of the egg is really damaged by X-rays, the fetus is likely to have problems. Therefore, if X-rays are taken during preconception, attention should be paid not to do X-ray examinations. If X-rays are taken due to illness, the pregnancy time should be appropriately postponed to avoid affecting the fetus.
