What are the potential aftereffects of having two chest X-rays done consecutively?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Also, what are the potential side effects of having two consecutive chest X-rays?

Doctor's answer:

Although chest X-rays belong to X-ray, the exposure dose from two chest X-rays is not significant and does not pose a threat to the body. X-rays can cause certain damage to cells, but cells are quickly replaced through metabolism by new cells. As long as there are no plans to become pregnant in the near future, there is no problem. If there are, it is best to wait for more than 3 months. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects women's health but can also lead to the development of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo routine examinations in the gynecology department of the hospital, identify the cause, and then receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness of the perineal skin in daily life.
