If you can please answer this question. I went to the Emergency room because my Colitis was flaring up. The Doctor ordered some abdominal X-rays to make sure nothing unusual was happening.

My concern is that during the X-rays I was not given a shield for protection and that the last X-ray taken the technician moved the camera directly in front of my groin area and took the X-ray. Is this common to take an X-ray of the groin area? and will this cause any infertility. I did notice after the X-rays that I had some burning sensations in the penis area.
