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?

View allI've had a total of three CT scans so far. The first was a head CT back in 2009 when I was just 15. Then, in 2018, I had two more CT scans at the age of 24one of the whole abdomen without contrast in January and a combined neck, chest, and abdomen CT with contrast in May, just five months apart. I recently learned that having multiple CT scans might increase cancer risk, and its gotten me worried. Am I at high risk because of these scans? I'm not sure what to do now and could really use your advice.
Repeated exposure to radiation from CT scans can increase the risk of cancer in the body. The cumulative radiation dose from multiple CT scans, especially at a young age, is a concern. However, the exact level of risk depends on various factors such as the number of scans, the body parts scanned, and individual sensitivity to radiation. Since you have had multiple CT scans at a relatively young age, it is important to be cautious. To minimize the risk of radiation-induced cancer, it is advisable to discuss your concerns with your healthcare provider. They may consider alternative imaging techniques that do not involve radiation, if appropriate. Additionally, regular health check-ups and screenings can help in early detection of any potential issues. In terms of medication, there are no specific drugs to reduce the risk of radiation-induced cancer. It is more about monitoring your health and minimizing future exposure to unnecessary radiation.

I recently had an x-ray done because of the pandemic situation we're in right now. Could you take a look at the x-ray and let me know if there's anything concerning? I'm not having any breathing issues, but I want to make sure everything looks okay.

I'm wondering if it's safe for my 16-year-old daughter to get a chest x-ray. I know she's been advised to have one, but I'm concerned about how appropriate it is for her age. Should we be worried about any risks or try to avoid the x-ray altogether?
