how do X-rays affect the body?

I work in healthcare, and if we need to assist the patient they always say “is there anyone that is not in childbearing age?”. This is to reduce exposure, but how does it affect your body? More specifically, how does it effect your reproductive system?

afaik: radiation is an energy that affects atoms and can change their settings. when it goes through cells of your body it could change chemical connections and reactions inside cells. and it also applies to DNA molecules. Radiation literally breaking DNA sequences inside cells. So cells lose an ability to reproduce or even reproduce in a wrong unpredictable way.
