Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am 22 weeks pregnant. For my severe lumbar injury, shall I get a procedure done under fluoroscopy? Would I be able to see the baby in the fluoroscopy? Please help.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Fluoroscopy is not advisable while you are pregnant and it is not recommended at all. Do take local treatment for a backache and take more rest. If constipation is there, then take proper treatment for it. This will all help in decreasing pain. If it is not avoidable, then you have to do it. But as X-ray is used in fluoroscopy and if it is in the lumbar region, then there is a chance that your baby will have the side effects of it. If possible do take treatment without fluoroscopy. You may see baby according to the area of exposure and the position of the baby.
