Disease Features exposure to radiation

Absence or low individual and public risk

Exposure to radiation - what does this mean

Exposure to radiation can cause a variety of diseases, including cancer, cataracts, and other genetic disorders. it can occur when a person is exposed to high levels of radiation, either from a natural source such as the sun or from artificial sources such as medical treatments or nuclear accidents. radiation exposure can also occur over time due to prolonged exposure to lower levels of radiation. this can increase the risk of developing certain diseases.

What happens during the disease - exposure to radiation

Exposure to radiation can cause damage to the body's cells and tissues, leading to a variety of health problems. the most common effects of radiation exposure are skin burns, hair loss, and damage to the immune system, which can lead to increased risk of infection. in addition, radiation can cause genetic mutations and increase the risk of cancer. long-term exposure can also lead to organ damage, infertility, and other chronic health problems.

Treatment and Medical Assistance

Main goal of the treatment: Reduce exposure to radiation

Limit exposure to radiation by avoiding unnecessary medical tests that involve radiation.
Minimize the amount of time spent in areas with high levels of radiation.
Wear protective clothing when in areas with radiation.
Eat foods that are low in radiation.
Take vitamins and supplements that can help reduce radiation exposure.
Drink plenty of fluids to help flush out any radiation that may have been absorbed.
Avoid contact with any radioactive material.
Take steps to reduce stress, as stress can increase the body's vulnerability to radiation.
