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

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.

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.

Since you characterized the symptoms, it could be possible that a STI has occurred. It is advisable to consult a gynecologist or urologist immediately and get tested so that the appropriate treatment can be administered on time.

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 friends got her period 18days late. Is this normal?

Menstrual cycles are also observed to be of different lengths, but a delay of more than two weeks maybe a cause for a visit to a gynecologists. It could be caused by hormonal disturbances, stress, weight fluctuations, or even existing medical conditions. Consult a gynaecologist for appropriate evaluation and handling.

my period came on Friday or Thursday. on saturday night it hurt quite a bit on the left side under my belly, kind of a sharp pain then on Monday i think i noticed that my period stopped. I've never had sex, nor been to a gynecologist before, so I can't really give you many details, but I am pretty confused

While some discomfort during menstruation is normal, severe pain or other symptoms such as sudden hemorrhage requires a doctor’s attention. It necessary to visit a gynecologist for better evaluation
