A member asked:
Do lumpy breasts or fibrocystic breasts mean dense breasts? can an ultrasound show breast density? when should i have my first mammogram?

US would help: Dense lump fibrocystic breast are common and do not indicate disease. Would consider US of any palpable nodules and first mammogram at 40.
