ડ્રગ્સ અને સ્તનપાન: વિરોધાભાસી મીડિયા / રેડિયોન્યુક્લાઇડ્સ

રેડિયોલોજીમાં કોન્ટ્રાસ્ટ મીડિયા

Contrast agents are used as part of એક્સ-રે, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or એક્ષ - રે કે અલ્ટ્રા - સાઉન્ડ નો ઉપયોગ કરીને માનવ શરીર અને બીજા પદાર્થ વચ્ચે થઈને રજુ કરવાની પદ્ધતિ (CT) examinations. They may contain આયોડિન or gadolinium. According to the European Society of Urogenital રેડિયોલોજી (ESUR) guidelines, breastfeeding can continue normally. The contrast agents do pass into સ્તન નું દૂધ, પરંતુ એકાગ્રતા is far below a level that is harmful to the infant.

Radionuclides in nuclear medicine

Radionuclides are radioactive substances used in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures (radiopharmaceuticals/radioactive દવાઓ) of many diseases.

Examinations performed as part of these diagnostic procedures include “સિંટીગ્રાફી. " સિંટીગ્રાફી is a diagnostic imaging procedure used in રેડિયોલોજી to detect long-lasting functional processes. સિંટીગ્રાફી is often performed as part of થાઇરોઇડ ડાયગ્નોસ્ટિક્સ. The most commonly used radionuclide is technetium-99m (half-life 6 hours). Alternatively, radioactive આયોડિન-123 (half-life 13 hours) can be injected (injected). If a person has been injected with a radionuclide, they must avoid close contact with children as well as pregnant women for 24-48 hours. Breastfeeding women must take a break from breastfeeding for 48 hours to prevent risk to the child. Apart from this, the radionuclides mentioned also pass into સ્તન નું દૂધ, so that an interruption of breastfeeding becomes necessary anyway.

થેરપી with radionuclides is used for ગાંઠના રોગો (radiatio/radiation therapy).

If necessary, the examination or ઉપચાર can be postponed until after breastfeeding.
