X-ray during pregnancy for getting RP......is it avoidable?
Hi Guys,
My pregnant wife will be joining me in Qatar soon. As a standard procedure, we will be required to do x-ray and medical checkup on her. However, I have found out that x-rays should be avoided on pregnant women.
So I was wondering if any of you guys have experience with avoiding the x-ray procedure required for getting RP. Alternatively, if you have any relevant experience, kindly share with me.
This is your first delivery in your family.......
Here National Health Authority will not take any kind of X-RAY if womens are carying they will take only blood sample for all check up...... Up date all the QL adviser about your baby birth ok boy or girl hehehehehehehehheheheheheheheheheh.......
HI,
Please take a pregrency certificate from your home country ,,means issued by a doctor.
you can submit the certificate with your medical paper.. thats all.they will not do XRAY.
this is the procedure..
Every Radiologist by looks at the female patients can make out if they are carrying/pregnent,such cases they will advise for not taking X-Ray,it is fundamentally against their medical principle,dont worry, have you ever noticed in every hospital x-Ray room they will put a board/picture if any prgnency inform technician as it will be danger for the baby.
yes they will do alternative tests however if they have doubt the alternative method can take follow up and month or so to get result, some injection and skin checking thing.
for my wife we did the xray however did had problem with baby later, not sure if it was due to xray so try to avoid it at all cost.
Don't worry. Just remind her to mention she is pregnant when registering. They will carry out a different test (PPT skin test or something). My wife had the same test last year.
I agree with "kmahmood". When I went in for medical test, they ask all of the females standing in line for the xray if there was any chance of being pregnant to speak up. They also ask again when they are placing you in front of the xray machine.
HI FRD,no need to do xray during medical check up..if ur wife is pregnent means tell her to informe be4 itself to them...(no probs they will also ask ur wife be4 the check up)so they avoid doing xray but they will give injection instead of that...they will mark that portion and say to come after 2 days...after 2 days they didnt find any difference like irritation r bulge means they will aprove the RP if any difference is there means they will say to take a xray with our own risk which was happen to me....Dont worry nothing will happen wrong
When you go for medical for your RP at that time they ask you this question are you pregent if yes then they avoide the X-ray and do the different testing and if not then they do the x-ray
so do not worry they consider these sort of things
pregnant? undergo an x-ray? risky for the baby. please consider the safety of the child.
Dont worry, they will not do XRay for pregnant woman. They will collect blood and will do PPT Skins test for TB instead of Xray. Dont forget to inform them about pregnancy while doing Medical Examination(Normally they are asking to all ladies whetehr they r carrying or not).
Why don't you tell your wife to go to the Dr. in your home country and ask for pros and cons on Xray during pregnancy.
On the other hand you were given contact numbers for the medical comission call them and find out.
Regards!!
I think if she is pregnant she didn't must do the x-ray. On the medical check they ask every women for pregnancy before they do the check up.
i hope i could help you!
