How long after CT scan can I get pregnant?

CT examination is a common imaging diagnostic test, and the application of this type of examination is actually very common. For example, if a woman's cervix or breast is suspected to have disease, we need to do a CT scan, because if we suspect that there is a problem in other parts of the body, we may need to do this kind of examination. However, CT scans do cause radiation, so after undergoing this type of test, women should try not to get pregnant in the short term.

How long does it take for a woman to get pregnant after a CT scan?

If a woman has undergone a CT scan or other X-ray examination, it is best to wait three months or six months before planning to get pregnant. Because the radiation from CT scans is actually very harmful to the human body, and it will also cause certain damage to women's egg cells. It will reduce the quality of women's eggs, and at this time they cannot combine well with men's sperm. Even if women are successful in getting pregnant, the natural environment of the fetus is not very good, and it is possible that the fetus may be deformed, or even miscarried or stillborn.

Common problems after CT scan

First of all, everyone should drink more water, which can promote metabolism. Generally, after 2 to 3 hours, we can completely eliminate the residual imaging agent injected into the body through urine. Within six hours after the test imaging agent is metabolized, everyone should try not to hold the baby. If the patient has special circumstances, then everyone should also explain the situation to the doctor, at this time the doctor can make appropriate arrangements.

CT scans are very commonly used. After many people have done an ultrasound examination, the doctor will recommend the patient to do a CT scan in order to see a clearer picture. No matter where the CT scan is done, the radiation source is very obvious, so if women are planning to have a baby, it is best to wait three months or more than half a year. If a woman has successfully become pregnant at this stage, she must go to the hospital for a check-up to check whether the gestational sac has developed completely. If it has developed well, she can become pregnant again. If there are problems with development, she must deal with it properly with the help of a doctor.
