Ask a doctor on the topic of Radiology

damaged genetic material due to radiation exposure?

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am 20 years old and have already had three kidney scintigraphies, a CT scan, three contrast studies of the urethra and kidney, and some X-rays. Now my question and my great concern is how high the risk really is, whether my genetic material is damaged, and whether it would make any difference to wait a few months before planning a pregnancy, as my last two examinations were just a month ago.

I would greatly appreciate a response.
Thank you in advance.

Kind regards
