Likely not needed: Current national policy guidelines in the U.S. Recommend first mammogram at 40 years old unless you have mother or sister diagnosed with breast cancer at a young age.

Do you mean: fibrocystic changes? If the doctor did not find anything suspicious on the clinical exam, there is no need for a mammogram until you are 40, unless a mass or other symptom develops, or you are at very high risk.
