I got several x-rays taken yesterday of my spine. They had a lead barrier up but it might not have covered all of the pelvic area on me. There was a really long exposure shot too of the side of my spine (14 seconds) Today I experienced a decent amount of menstrual bleeding (red blood, not brown spotting) but no cramps. I'm on birth control and am sexually active. I had white discharge in my underwear a few hours after the x-rays and thought I had ovulated. Is this normal?
You're having a normal period. X-rays have absolutely no impact on menstural bleeding
I appreciate the response; however, this period, if it is one, is far from normal. It's two weeks early and my periods are always accompanied by severe cramping before the bleeding even starts.
How old are you. Things do change. My periods are way different than they were 10 years ago. Every 7 years your body chemistry changes. But either way X-rays will have zero effect on your periods.
