Is ct scan harmful for girls of age 21 ? does it causes harm to ovaries ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ct radiation: Ct scans like xrays work through delivering radiation to the body. The ct is a much higher dose of radiation and should be used judiciously. The amount used for the ct can be regulated and should be the minimum necessary to achieve its goal. And yes enough radiation can harm the ovaries. Talk with your doctor about this.
