Hi, please when is the best day todo mammogram and echo of the breast after my monthly circle . thank you?

Early menstrual : During the first week of your menstrual cycle is the ideal time to have your mammogram. The breast tissue is less dense during the first seven days of your cycle and may make the mammogram more sensitive and better able to detect breast cancers and possibly cause less patient discomfort. The us (echo) should be ordered by your dr. As needed based on your mammogram results and your clinical exam.

Second week of cycle: Based on optimal time for breast MRI exam, when the physiologic activity is least likely to interfere with MRI interpretation, day 5 until day 10 or 14 ( depending on the study results) should be best time. With regard to discomfort during the exam, the best time is during the part of the cycle when your are least tender, as compression is an important part of a good, i.e. Quality, mammogram.

Best time for mammo: The best time for your mammogram is within ten days of starting your period (if you are still menstruating). Breast tenderness during this time is usually minimal, making mammographic compression more tolerable.
