Breast Exam? Density.?!


Question: A friend of mine called me today and said a doctor just called saying that she is devoloping breast density, and they are having trouble reading her mamogram. She was concerned and wondering if this can be cured and is it a concern?

Depending on your friend's age some density is normal. A young woman's breasts tend to be very dense which can make reading a mammogram very hard to read.

I would recommend that she get in touch with her doctor as well to see what they say. Because of the difficulty reading the mammogram they may order an ultrasound to see if that makes things easier to read (giving an example only).

I also have the link to a site that may help you find even more information. The link is at:
