A member asked:
I was told i have fibrocystic lumpy breasts 10 years ago but my doctor has never done any imaging. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Imaging is not very good in dense breasts. Fibrocystic change is very common. A change or a single suspicious area would be an indication for imaging but routine screening is recommended to begin at age 40 in those at normal risk. This would be earlier if you had a mother or sister with breast cancer in which you would begin screening 5 years earlier than the age at which she was diagnosed.
