i have an ex-ray for 3times last year because of sinus ,is there a bad effect?

Answer 1

The unit of measure for an X-ray is called a rem, often abbreviated r.. A rem is a relatively large amount, and therefore exposure to xrays for medical use is often measured in mrems (or millirems).

The average person living in the US is exposed to approximately 360 mrems annually from background sources alone.

Reported dosage due to dental X-rays seems to vary significantly. Depending on the source, a typical dental X-ray of a human results in an exposure of perhaps, 3, 40, 300, or as many as 900 mrems per.

I wouldnt have thought that a medically provided x-ray done by professional medical personel would put you at risk of any ill health. Especially as the fact that we are always exposed to slight amounts of radiation anyway all of the time. I mean im sure you use a microwave oven to warm food sometimes? There will undoubtadly be some stray radiation coming from the oven while it is running, yet they are still safe enough to have in the home and use on a daily basis. I wouldnt worry too much.

Answer 2

Yes, X-rays are not helpful for a solution to your problem. They may point out problems, but if this keeps coming up, you should try another preventive answer. This solution is easy and feels great.

Try a saline nasal RINSE (not a spray) A full warm water saline rinse goes in one nostril and out the other. It draws out all the gunk and shrinks the tissue (like swimming in the ocean). I've been doing it at work too.

The buffered salt doesn't 'sting' as much as plain salt water. You can use a new method like Nasopure, or the vintage, Netipot. The special bottle and salt is about $20.

You can do this a often as you like with no bad side effects.

You don’t need a prescription for this therapy. So if you live in a state like mine, they’ve pretty much “outlawed” sudafed medicine. Drug-free is really the way to go on a frequent-use basis. (I put in a link for “what” and “how” – there’s also some good info on wiki)

Answer 3

I am not sure what country you come from, but I am a little surprised. Certainly in UK sinus X-rays have virtually been abolished. The Royal College of Radiologists decreed about 2 years ago that their risk outweighed their benefit.

The information they produced was poor, compared to scanning, as balanced against the risk of the radiation involved.

( A similar situation existed a few years back with barium meals, which have also virtually vanished as a diagnostic technique.)

Answer 4

like previously stated...really unless u r pregnant there shouldnt be any effects on you...and thats mainly the first trimester that effects happen....there is a certain amount of exposure that the public is limited to....and that is 5 rems in a lifetime....going 3 times last year will not go over that limit...honestly the only way to go over that limit would be if you had numerous amounts of xrays done every year..which really is unlikely.....

Answer 5

If you are asking if X-rays are hazardous to health, they shouldn't be, unless you happen to be pregnant.
If in doubt, I suggest you talk to your doctor.
Good luck.
