Question
Our baby experienced three cases of intussusception at 8 months, 9 months, and 14 months old, and they were all cured through air enema under X-ray exposure. Will this have any impact on the baby?
Answer
X-rays have a certain killing and destructive effect on biological cells, so when the human body is exposed to X-rays, certain physiological reactions occur. Overexposure can cause tissue damage, affect physiological function, and even endanger life. However, during X-ray examinations, medical staff use very small doses of radiation that are within the safe range. The doses used for X-ray examinations are very low at present, and even if two examinations are conducted, there will be no problem.
