Is it safe to continue pregnancy after chest x-ray?

Patient's Query

Hi, my wife had an chest xray done and as a precaution we covered her pelvis area with a lead plate as we were unsure about her pregnancy but after 7 days her test came positive and we got to know that she is 2 months pregnant pregnancy ( we conducted 2 p.tests prior but they came negative), Should we go fwd with the baby? Please advise as we are really worried.

Answered by Dr. Swapna Chekuri

Radiation is neither dangerous nor harmful to an unborn baby when the mother's stomach is well covered during pregnancy and X-rays are taken. The child was probably well protected by the lead plate covered by the pelvic region during the X-ray. In general, radiation obtained from a single X-ray is so low that it cannot make an early pregnancy harmful. Nevertheless, telling the doctor about the X-ray and pregnancy is always the best choice. They might wish to examine the pregnancy more often to make sure that it is developing properly.

What is thats means thickened decidualized endometrium

Female | 27

Thickened decidualized endometrium means that the tissue lining your uterus has become thicker than usual because it's preparing for pregnancy. This usually happens during pregnancy or before your period. However, it can also occur due to hormone imbalances or certain medical conditions. When the endometrium thickens like this, it can cause symptoms like heavy periods, irregular spotting, abdominal pain, or trouble getting pregnant. If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, it's important to see a gynecologist.

The brown vaginal bleeds, boob pains, tummy aches, and nausea might be thanks to the Nexplanon implant messing with your hormones. Brownish discharge can happen, but if it lingers or comes with other issues, talk to a gynecologist. They'll check you out and give advice tailored to your comfort.

I am not having my periods from 3 months

Female | 13

It is normal for girls to not have their period some times. The big reason is often changes in hormones. Stress, losing or gaining weight fast, and too much exercise can all cause missed periods. Living a healthy life and not being stressed can help. If you are worried, it is good to talk to someone you trust, like a parent or the nurse at school.

My menstrual period is late. I also use combination pills for last month. I take a pregnancy test it shows negative . Why my period is late

Female | 31

When you start taking combination contraceptive pills, your body may need time to adjust. This temporary phase could delay your period. Factors like stress, illness, or changes in body weight can also affect menstrual timing. If your pregnancy test is negative, it's likely just a temporary irregularity. Keep track of your cycle and consult a gynecologist if the delay continues.

Female | 35

When your period is late, it’s okay to worry. During this time, our bodies may deceive us occasionally. Feeling like it’s coming but it doesn’t could be a sign of stress, weight changes, or hormonal imbalances. Don’t be scared; it’s usually nothing. Give it a few more days and watch if it comes. If it doesn’t, keep track of it on a calendar and talk to a gynecologist.

I am a 22 year old female and I had a medical abortion which I really regret. I took the first oral pill but vomited very few minutes later. I continued with inserting the rest 48 hours later and I bled. My breasts are still sore and I’m still feeling tired. Could my baby be still alive? Which I’m really hoping for. And when can I do a scan to check if the abortion failed?

Female | 22

It is important to get a scan to confirm the status of your pregnancy. While vomiting shortly after taking the first pill might reduce its effectiveness, the subsequent bleeding could indicate that the abortion process has begun. To know for sure, visit a gynecologist as soon as possible for an ultrasound. They will provide the most accurate information and appropriate guidance.

Female | 22

Not being able to conceive may be caused by various factors. For example, irregular menstruation can make it hard to determine your fertile days – this is when conception takes place. Moreover, stress, an unhealthy diet, thyroid issues or other underlying conditions can also affect fertility. The good news is that there are things you can do to boost your chances of conceiving. Keeping track of your cycle, watching your weight, eating right, and minimizing anxiety can all help significantly. If you’ve been trying without success for some time now, talking with a gynecologist could give you some direction and encouragement.

Female | 26

Missing periods and a negative pregnancy test can be a little startling. The beta hCG level being low could indicate that it's too early for a positive result. The signs of illness she exhibits could derive from a variety of causes such as hormonal imbalances or stress. I suggest a pregnancy test next week for a more reliable result. If the symptoms persist, go to a gynecologist for further examination.

Cramps in early pregnancy are usual, specifically during the initial trimester. Major bodily shifts occur, making space for the baby, causing mild crampiness.
