Question 1

will alcohol effect a pap smear and mammogram?

Accepted Answer

No: I wish they were all so easy to answer. I hope you limit your alcohol intake to what truly makes you happy, and if you should feel your drinking becoming compulsive or a way of coping with difficulties you can manage in some better way, that you'll decide to stop. And i hope you'll forgive me if my last remark was out of line. Especially, i'm glad you're keeping up your health maintenance.

Question 2

how long is the result of a mammogram?

Accepted Answer

Short turnaround: Do you mean how long it takes for a radiologist to read one ? Not long.

Question 3

what does this mammogram result mean if dense?

Accepted Answer

Common in your age: Many younger women have dense breasts on mammograms. This means more glandular tissue. In older women there is more fatty tissue and the mammogram is actually better.
A mammogram with dense breast tissue at 42 is not abnormal, and not a major source for concern.

Question 4

at my first mammogram i wear deodorant . deodorant affecting results on mammogram?

Accepted Answer

No: Deodorant will not affect mammogram results.
Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Question 5

i received my mammogram results which found scattered fibro granular density of 30-50% should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Normal: your breasts are composed of a collection of glands that are supported by fibers, and so this finding is not concerning. Depending on your cycle your breast tissue becomes more prominent and this was likely what was captured. As long as there are no calcifications, I would be reassured.

Question 6

my 2013 mammogram result: some calcifications no changes from 2012. dr said is good since no chng but i'm worried. wat r calcifications?

Accepted Answer

Calcium deposits: There are calcium depoists in breast tissue that could be benign or malignant and they look quite different.  If the report said benign finding then it's not a worrisome finding.

Question 7

at my first mammogram i wear deodorant . ,she asked me you wear deodorant on the end ,not of beginning. deodorant affecting results on mammograms?

Accepted Answer

Depends on deodorant: I didn&#x27;t know how deodorants could affect a mammogram but Dr. Cress commented some deodorants have metallic particles that can look like calcifications, so avoid deodorants with aluminum (best avoided anyways). 
Mammograms slightly increase risk of breast cancer so should be done with caution; there is an ongoing debate of the risks vs. the benefits. See https://draxe.com/mammograms-cause-cancer/

Question 8

can it take long to get mammogram results?

Accepted Answer

Varies, usu 1-3 days: This varies from practice to practice. A screening mammogram usually take 1-3 days to get results. If there are old studies that need to be retrieved or ordered from elsewhere, it may take longer, sometimes even 2-3 weeks. There may be guidelines to limit the maximum to under 4 weeks. Diagnostic mammograms are usually interpreted in the same day, unless old films are needed.

Question 9

how long do i have to wait before getting mammogram results?

Accepted Answer

It varies: Some mammogram units give immediate feedback. Other take a day or two. You should also receive a letter from the radiologist.
