Is it a big deal for a man who is planning to have a baby to have an X-ray?

If you want to have a healthy birth, you must personally go through the pregnancy preparation stage. Well, women need scientific preparation for pregnancy, and men also need a pregnancy preparation period. Pregnancy is a matter between two people, and the baby is produced by the combination of the genes of two people. The male's genetic genes are also very important. Therefore, men must also attach great importance to the pregnancy preparation stage. What the editor should talk about today is whether it is important for men to have X-rays during the pregnancy preparation period?

Is it important for men to have X-rays during pregnancy?

1. Radiation examinations are harmful to the body. The greater the radiation exposure, the greater the risk of carcinogens. Human glandular ducts, such as thyroid cysts, breasts, sex hormones (male testicles, uterus and ovaries), intestinal squamous epithelial cells, and hematopoietic system are very sensitive to X-rays and are easily damaged, with risks such as carcinogen gene mutations.

2. If you go to the hospital's X-ray room to take an X-ray, the exposure (radiation source) time is less than half a second, and the radiation intensity is very trace, so it is not likely to have much impact on the fetus, and you don't have to do it dozens or countless times, so you can rest assured.

3. The radiation source of an X-ray is 0.2mSv, and a CT scan is 12mSv. The radiation source inhaled by a person every year is 2mSv. Only when it exceeds 100-250Sv will it cause harm to the body. Generally, when taking an X-ray, the doctor must use a lead cloth to protect the lower abdomen (testicles or uterus and ovaries) to block the radiation source. It can be said that there is basically no impact and life-threatening. Whether it is a man or a woman, it is best not to touch the X-ray in the first three months of pregnancy preparation, for the health of the baby, these aspects should still be taken seriously.

What are the things that men cannot do during pregnancy?

1. No need to wear tight pants

As everyone gradually began to pursue fashion trends, tights also began to become popular among men. However, although tights can make men look straight, they will restrict the private parts, hinder blood circulation, and increase the temperature of the private parts. Both of these conditions affect the survival of male sperm and cause infertility.

2. Cycling

Cycling is a very popular outdoor activity, but if you ride a bicycle frequently, your private parts will be squeezed by the seat and injured. In addition, when we ride a bicycle, our body temperature will rise, which will continue to cause the private parts to be insufficiently cooled, causing sperm to be exposed to high temperature. If men ride a bicycle during pregnancy preparation, their fertility will be reduced.
