You should know that chest X-rays are X-ray examinations, and X-rays can damage and distort eggs, leading to miscarriage, stillbirth, and fetal malformations. Therefore, the advice is that it is best not to have children, because there are many clinical cases in real life where some women choose to keep children, but often find such situations: deformed fetuses, miscarriages, stillbirths, etc., and it may even increase the risk of sequelae of cancer in children 10 years later.

The impact of chest X-ray on the fetus

This is because women with cancer usually have to undergo cancer radiotherapy. Even if their condition allows them to have a baby, they cannot do so immediately. They need to wait at least half a year after the cancer radiotherapy is completed before they can become pregnant. Because after the treatment is terminated, there will still be various residual radiation-induced diseases in the female body, which can easily cause fetal malformation or miscarriage, especially within three months after the completion of tumor radiotherapy, the probability of fetal malformation is the highest.

If you want to get pregnant, you must be healthy, because only good health can make it easier for you to get pregnant. If you find out you are pregnant after a chest X-ray, it is recommended not to have the child, because the chest X-ray has a great impact on the fetus. And if female friends who have chest X-rays are not pregnant at the time of the chest X-ray, they must wait for 3 months after the chest X-ray before receiving treatment, because only in this way can the health of the fetus be guaranteed.
