Can I breastfeed after doing CT scan during breastfeeding?

CT can help to diagnose many diseases, so it is widely used in medicine. Doctors often use CT to assist in the diagnosis of diseases. It is a common examination method. Diseases in many parts of the body can be detected through CT, but many people do not understand CT examinations. Some mothers are prone to illness because their body resistance is weakened after giving birth. And the examination requires a CT scan, which makes the mother very worried, worried that it will affect the baby's milk drinking.

Can I breastfeed while doing CT scan?

Whether you can breastfeed after a CT scan during breastfeeding needs to be decided based on the specific situation. If it is a flat scan, generally there is no problem. If you are breastfeeding, it is recommended to resume exclusive breastfeeding after 24 hours. The key to improving the scanner is to consider the metabolism of contrast agents, which may have a certain impact on the quality of breast milk. It is recommended to exclusively breastfeed after 24 hours. For occasional inspections, the radiation from the equipment has little effect on breast milk, so there is basically no need to worry too much. If you are really worried, you can first use infant formula instead of feeding, and during this period, be sure to expel the breast milk in time.

If the mother gets sick during breastfeeding, her mood will immediately become complicated. Because of the pain of illness and the worry about the baby, her mood will be greatly affected. You need to pay attention to care in all aspects. If you are sick, you can use medicine to treat it. Generally, doctors will prescribe some medicines that will not affect the baby's drinking milk according to the mother's special situation, so there is no need to worry too much.

In addition, mothers should also pay attention to increasing physical exercise during breastfeeding, and do exercises that they can bear. This can better enhance immunity, increase disease resistance, and promote rapid recovery of the body.

The essence of the radiation source is a radio wave, also called electromagnetic wave radiation. All matter (including humans) is made up of atoms and molecules. The constant movement of these molecules and molecular structures will generate magnetic fields, which can transmit radio waves outward. This radio wave is emitted outward from this matter as the center, like a wheel, so it is called a radiation source.

There is no need to worry when you hear about radiation, because the vast majority of radiation sources are absolutely safe, otherwise humans would have become extinct long ago. Only a very small amount of radiation sources are harmful to the human body. For breastfeeding mothers, whether medical-assisted examinations are safe depends mainly on whether breast milk will accumulate radiation and whether the contrast agent will be absorbed by the baby's body and harm its health.
