Q. My wife had a mammogram without knowing that she is pregnant. What to do?
Hi doctor,
My wife had a mammography test last month. It was around 26 days after LMP. She did not get her periods then. Now, after a month of mammography, her doctor has confirmed that she is pregnant. Please suggest.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Mammogram delivers less dose and fetus will be far away from the radiation field. However, a close follow-up with ultrasound of the fetus and obstetrician is necessary.
Thank you.
