A member asked:
Baseline mammo: lt side mild area of asymmetry with parenchymal density in medial posterior. short f/u suggested. what does it mean & should i worry?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's suspicious.: You shouldn't worry, but you should have a breast exam now and again in 6 months with a repeat mammogram in 6 months. Your mammogram shows that your left breast is not identical to your right breast. There is an area that's more dense, located close to the chest on the side near your breastbone. It could be your normal anatomy, but the only way to know is to follow it over time. I hope that helps!
