About Radiation Protective Clothing

A mother-to-be friend told me with gusto, learned that she was pregnant, her husband bought her a piece of radiation amplitude clothing, specially selected a piece of silver fiber so-called high-end radiation clothing, spent nearly 3,000 oceans. Also said that usually never bought themselves so expensive clothes, thinking that this life may be pregnant once, give birth to a baby, can not be slow. Hubby also said that the protection measures must be good, radiation protection clothing that is which is the most expensive to pick which one. 3,000 yang! Listening to me straight for my friend’s wallet heartache ah. Urumqi City Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine gynecology Li Ying In fact, the daily life of those such as cell phones, microwave ovens, television and so on radiation are non-ionizing radiation, and will not make the pregnant woman miscarriage, fetal deformity rate as well as increased chances of neonatal diseases, there is no need to protect! Of course, pregnant women radiation protection clothing still has its role: the first is to tell everyone that they are pregnant, so that it is easy for someone to give up their seat and give care; the second is psychological comfort. So my advice to friends is: 1. radiation clothing is not necessary things, at most, is to seek a psychological comfort; 2. really want to buy also want to pick the style of traditional easy to be recognized that kind. Price, really good, do not be fooled into buying a “high-tech” when the wrongdoer; 3. Save money to buy some parenting books to see, reserve knowledge is the most cost-effective investment. Perhaps friends will ask, since you say radiation clothing is completely unnecessary, then why the hospital radiology department and other places have prominent big words prompt “pregnant women are not allowed to enter” “If you are pregnant, please tell the staff in order to take protective measures”? Hospital X-ray radiation is different from the non-ionizing radiation that we see in our daily lives, such as cell phones, microwave ovens, computers, TVs, etc. It is ionizing radiation. High doses of ionizing radiation can damage cells or change the structure of DNA, which can be harmful to the human body. However, mothers-to-be do not need to worry, usually only in the hospital X-ray machine or nuclear power plants and these “strong sector” may appear more ionizing radiation, you are less likely to encounter in everyday life. That said, if you do encounter “strong ionizing radiation”, then you need to take effective protective measures, which can not just wear a maternity radiation protection clothing can do. For pregnant women to receive X-ray examination, doctors will be extra cautious, can be avoided must be avoided, really can not be avoided must be well protected, after all, compared with the necessary X-ray examination to obtain diagnostic information for the patient’s help, X-ray may bring about damage is much smaller. X-rays outside of the abdomen are considered safe because they do not directly expose the fetus, and the doctor will cover the abdomen and perineum with a lead cloth to protect them from scattered radiation, so the effect on the fetus is very small and can be monitored during pregnancy. Finally summarize one sentence to friends who are not willing to read long tweets and large paragraphs of text: non-ionizing radiation is not scary, anti-radiation clothing is not necessary. Computers, TV, cell phones, microwave ovens, how to use after pregnancy or how to use, do not have to avoid.
