Cancer risk from x-rays?

Edit Post

Not meaning to scare the crap out of people but I came across this paper stating the potential increased risk of testicular cancer from x-rays:
https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0239321#sec006

It's not definitive but the study is slightly concerning for those of us who have had multiple x-rays below the waist. I've read that the radiation dose is lower for limbs than other body parts so I don't know how relevant this study is for us, hopefully it isn't but at the same time it's hard not to worry. Does anyone with any medical experience know more about this?

Yes I did read the paper, that's why I said it's not definitive You are 100% correct though about correlation v causation, there could be numerous other factors involved causing the disease in each particular patient.

My main concern is how worried should I or others be who have had multiple x-rays in a relatively short period. I get that 1 or 2 is just a drop in the ocean as you say but I had around 10 x-rays (front/side views) in a 5 month period which personally feels a lot although necessary at the time to monitor bone growth.

No. But apparently shielding doesn't make any difference and in some cases actually increases radiation exposure according to new research.

If it were just a one off x-ray I wouldn't be worried but a high number over a short time span has me a little concerned. I'd be curious to know what the average radiation dose is for those type of scans.
