A member asked:
Should you wait to do a carotid artery ultrasound until after you are done breastfeeding? will breastfeeding change the results like it will cholesterol blood tests?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Not aware of any interference as such. Ultrasound should not be delayed due to breastfeeding. Establishing with a primary care provider should help in better coordinating needed tests.
