Prior
to X-rays based imaging technique we are given an injection that
comprises a substance that enhances the visibility of internal organs
and structure within our body, this substance is known as Contrast Media.
It assists the radiography physician to assess the internal organ
quite vividly. However, it may have some side effects occurrence
from a mild itching to as severe as life threatening as well.
Presently
the key components of contrast
media
are based on the chemical variation of a 2,4,6 tri-iodinated benzene
ring and are considered indispensible in radiology practice for the
purpose of therapy as well as diagnostic utility. Contrast media that
comprises iodine is categorized as ionic or nonionic and in the form
of monomeric and dimeric. The general purpose of these chemical
substances are, to explicit the visualization of tissues, organs,
vessels and urinary tract. The medical use of these substances in our
body is generally safe and if any side effects emerge, they are very
mild. The serious or adverse reactions are only once in a while or
very rare in nature.
Is
there any side effect of contrast media during pregnancy?
Pregnancy
is always a sensitive case from all perspective. Whatever you take,
eat, drink, medicated and prescribed is the subjected matter of
medical solicitation. If you fall ill during pregnancy, it literally
means you and your unborn baby both are patient. In that case,
before going for any contrast
media radiology,
tell your physician vividly about your condition and the doctor will
assess and determined the medical or non medical issue deeply and the
prevailing condition and on the basis of that take the decision that
is best suited to you as well as your unborn baby.
It
is useful to locate some isolated problem during pregnancy
The
period of pregnancy is differ from the state of non-pregnancy,
neither the pregnant or non-pregnant lady are all alike. Due to the
certain change in our body and metabolism during pregnancy the
problem emerges in distinguishing and assessing the separate diseases
in the abdomen. Under the circumstances the Contrast Media Radiology
is very useful to track the issue in the abdomen.
The
use of contrast media during pregnancy or in potentially pregnant
patient causes no harm, except it is used without medical discretion.
If the use of contrast media ensures the sound health of the mother
and unborn baby, it is acceptable.
