What are the hazards of computer radiation to pregnant women?

In modern life, due to the increasing pressure of survival, many female friends have to go to work even after they become pregnant. Pregnant women often need to use computers while working. We all know that computers emit radiation. In order to better protect the health of pregnant women, we need to understand the impact of computer radiation. At the same time, we must also understand what these impacts are.

Experts also said that so far, there is still no authoritative investigation showing that there is an inevitable link between computer radiation and fetal health. Pregnant women can relax. As long as they are not working under high-power radiation in large computer rooms or workstations, daily computer use will not affect pregnant women and fetuses. Professor Zhu Lan of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Peking Union Medical College Hospital also believes that there are many factors that cause miscarriage and fetal malformation, and computers cannot be convicted for this reason.

Computer radiation can have an impact on fetal development, but the extent of the impact is still unknown. According to clinical observations, it is estimated that about 10%-20% of children with congenital heart disease are related to their mothers' prolonged exposure to computers during pregnancy. Personnel from the Irradiation Center of the China Institute of Atomic Energy believe that computer radiation is a weak radiation and will basically have no impact. Ms. Wang Yujie from the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences said that apart from statistics from Japan showing that the risk of fetal disease in pregnant women who work with computers is several percentage points higher than that of pregnant women who do not use computers, no other relevant research has been found to confirm this controversial issue.

1. The harm of computers to pregnant women

When using a computer, you should pay attention to the following four major hazards of computer radiation:

1. Computer radiation pollution can affect the human body's circulatory system, immunity, reproduction and metabolic functions. In severe cases, it can induce cancer and accelerate the proliferation of cancer cells in the human body. `

2. The impact on people's reproductive system is mainly manifested in reduced sperm quality in men, spontaneous abortion and fetal malformation in pregnant women, etc.

3. The effects on people's cardiovascular system manifest as palpitations, insomnia, menstrual disorders, bradycardia, decreased cardiac output, sinus arrhythmia, leukopenia, decreased immune function, etc. in some women.

4. It has adverse effects on people’s visual system. Since the eyes are the most sensitive organs of the human body to electromagnetic radiation, excessive electromagnetic radiation pollution will also affect the visual system. The main symptoms are decreased vision, causing cataracts, etc.

2. Experts from the World Health Organization believe that there are many reasons why computer operation affects pregnancy outcomes, the main ones being work fatigue and excessive stress, and secondly, the extremely low frequency electromagnetic field of the computer. To ensure the birth of a healthy and smart child, pregnant women who are engaged in computer operations are advised to take the following protective measures:

1. If conditions permit, avoid using a computer during the first three months of pregnancy. During the entire pregnancy, do not work for long periods of time. Go outdoors and exercise for a while after every hour of work.

2. The computer room should be ventilated regularly to keep the air fresh.

3. Computers should be arranged back to back to reduce the intensity of electromagnetic radiation.

4. You can use a protective apron when operating a computer. It is helpful to have some proper protection.

Through the above contents, we have learned the relevant knowledge about computer radiation. At the same time, we also learned that pregnant women should not use computers after they become pregnant, and should try to rest at home to avoid unnecessary harm. In order to help pregnant women absorb nutrients better, we need to understand their scientific and reasonable diet.
