Can abdominal X-rays cause infertility? From: KB (anonymous@obgyn.net) Fri, 4 Jun 1999 21:38:51 -0500 (CDT) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Terri: "Myomectomy or Hysterectomy?" Previous message: William D. McIntosh, MD: "Re: Is continuing ed required for MD's?" I had a couple of lower abdominal X-rays today- with no shielding, because, of course, the doctor needed to see that area. The first time, the technician forgot to put the film in, so I wound up having to get an extra shot. I'm really worried about the damage the additional exposure may cause to my reproductive organs; I've heard ovaries can permanently cease functioning as a result of the radiation, not to mention that it can cause cells to become cancerous. Are multiple lower abdominal X-rays sufficient to cause this type of damage? I'm in my late 20's, no children, but always planned to someday...do I have any cause for concern? Thanks!
