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

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.

Nope!: "Scattered fibrogranular density of 30-50%" is a fancy way of saying that about 1/2 your breast is composed of fat and the other 1/2 is composed of breast ducts and glands. As we age, our breasts get less dense. They turn into mostly fat, and the "fibroglandular" parts disappear. I would guess you're somewhere in the 40 to 60 age range? Anyway, it's nothing to worry about! Be well!

NO but: you should see your doctor regularly , get annual mammography ( in spite of controversy is the best monitoring tool along with self examination ) Your condition currently is benign condition
