I'm curious about how many X-rays are too many for someone. I've had about 610 X-rays by the time I turned 32. Could this amount lead to cancer if I get more in the future?

View allI recently did a full-body check-up and got an X-ray as part of it. I don't have any symptoms or anything, but I'm having trouble understanding the X-ray results. Is there anything unusual I should be aware of, or is everything normal? I'm just a bit curious and want to make sure there's nothing to worry about.

I've noticed an ovoid hypoechoic mass in my right suprarenal region measuring 5x4.6x4cm. There's no pain or major issues so far, but I sometimes feel like something's there just a weird sensation. All my tests came back normal except for this lesion. Are there any non-surgical options to dissolve or manage it?
A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.
