X-rays in the radiology department have certain killing and damaging effects on biological cells. Excessive exposure to X-rays can affect physiological functions, cause chromosomal abnormalities, and lead to the occurrence of cancer and other diseases. Appropriate amount of exposure will not affect human health. The dose for X-ray fluoroscopy and photography is very small and is limited to a safe dose. The dosage is a few ten thousandths, so the damage to the human body is negligible.
At present, the radiological examination equipment used in major hospitals has long been replaced by digital photography. They use less radiation for better images and are therefore less damaging to the human body. Therefore, you can perform normal x-ray examinations with confidence. Of course, excessive x-ray examinations will have an impact on the human body, so it is generally not recommended to repeat x-ray examinations unless necessary. Excessive X-rays can cause hematopoietic dysfunction, affect human gonad function, damage human lens cataracts, and even increase the prevention rate of tumors. Especially if a pregnant woman receives a large number of X-rays, it can cause malformations in the fetus in her belly.
Long-term exposure may lead to dire consequences of infertility and fetal malformation. Male sperm may also have certain reactions to X-rays, causing infertility. If a patient has an increased number of X-rays, especially over a short period of time, it could lead to dire consequences of cell cancer. Pregnant women must avoid using it as much as possible, because the large amount of x-ray radiation may cause cancer in the cells of pregnant women and babies, which is not conducive to the development and growth of babies.
When people undergo X-rays, the body's cells are severely damaged, so in this case, people's immunity is easily reduced. When immunity is weakened, the human body will be invaded by viruses and bacteria, leading to various diseases and in serious cases, malignant tumors and cancer. When taking X-rays, you must take them according to the actual situation and control the number of shots to reduce damage to the body.
