Will young children develop cancer in the future due to multiple X-ray exposures?

Patient's question:

Will children get cancer in the future due to multiple X-ray exposures? Do they need to be treated in the hospital? How long will it take to recover? Please help me!

Doctor's answer:

There is a possibility that his symptoms are not radiation-induced. Currently, there is no radiation in his body, and you don't need to do anything. The chance of developing leukemia in the future is still very low. He can also have children when he grows up.
X-rays entering the human body are absorbed and produce biological effects that can be harmful to the body. The extent of the damage depends on the absorbed dose. Generally, low doses are not significantly harmful to the body, while high doses can lead to tissue and cell damage as well as blood system disorders. The impact of X-rays on fetuses is more likely to cause embryonic abnormalities, fetal deformities, poor brain development, and an increased risk of cancer during childhood.
