Can I take X-rays while breastfeeding?

Some new mothers fall ill during breastfeeding, but are afraid that taking medicines, physical examinations, and X-rays may affect the secretion of milk. Therefore, they are not sure whether they should do many things, pay attention to their diet, and correct some bad habits in life. So, is it possible to take X-rays during routine physical examinations during breastfeeding?

It is possible to shoot movies. Generally speaking, it will not affect breast milk. As long as there is no long-term contact, radioactive material testing will not have any effect. If you are sure that you have symptoms during breastfeeding, you should go to the hospital for a physical examination in time. When you see a doctor, you should tell the doctor in advance that you are breastfeeding. The doctor will consider adjusting the regular examination and treatment plan according to your situation, and can safely use medication when necessary.

Because the body is quite special during breastfeeding, you should pay more attention to breast care first, then pay attention to diet, and finally pay attention to the correct posture of breastfeeding. If the posture is wrong, it is easy to cause abnormal body function or milk congestion.

In addition, during the breastfeeding period, you need to improve your nutrition and take care of your body. You must pay more attention to exercise, improve your resistance and immunity, eat less irritating and raw foods, avoid the habit of picky eating, and develop a good work and rest routine and diet regularity. If the nutrition is uneven during lactation, it is easy to cause insufficient milk.

The standard for medication during lactation is that if partial medication can be taken, there is no need to take systemic medication; if Chinese herbal medicine can be used, there is no need to apply drugs; if it can be applied externally, there is no need to take it internally; if it can be taken internally, there is no need to inject it; you can use old well-known brands of medicines, but you cannot use medicines developed from new products. Even if it is necessary to use medication, it is best to stop breastfeeding and wait until after taking the medication before breastfeeding.
