A member asked:
I had a mammogram exam and the findings say, moderate parenchymal density is seen in both breasts. what does that mean? should i be concerned?

No concern needed: It simply means that your breasts are "thick" with tissue and moderately hard to "see" on mammogram. A word of caution however, because of your post menopausal age of 63, if the MD reading your future mammogram report indicates that it is very difficult to see through them to provide an adequate negative examination, please follow up with the additional recommended testing.
