Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello I had four normal x rays on left knee including AP lateral intercondylar and skyline (I was sitting upright holding the photographic plate in front of my knee) I am 30 and are hoping to have baby number three in a year or so and I am hopelessly worried I have risked damage on my egg quality leading me to have a higher chance of miscarriage or genetic fault. I was not shielded and the only other x rays I've had are a handful of dental x rays the last of which a lead shield was used, and a skull x ray when I was 8. Is there any risk of damage to my eggs? I am also worried about thyroid exposure from the skyline shot. I didn't actually need the x rays which makes it worse. Thanks for your help.
