Mammography is a specialized imaging technique used to detect early signs of breast cancer and other abnormalities in breast tissue. This low-dose X-ray examination helps identify lumps, calcifications, or changes in breast structure that may not be felt during a physical exam. Dr. Ananya, an experienced oncoplastic breast surgeon, recommends regular mammograms, especially for women over 40, as early detection significantly increases treatment success rates.
There are two types of mammograms: screening mammography, performed routinely to detect hidden breast diseases, and diagnostic mammography, used when symptoms such as lumps, pain, or nipple discharge are present. Digital mammography provides clearer and more detailed images, helping radiologists analyze breast tissue more accurately.
Mammograms are safe, quick, and effective, typically taking about 20 minutes. While some women experience slight discomfort due to compression of the breasts, the benefits outweigh any temporary unease. Dr. Ananya emphasizes that women with a family history of breast cancer or dense breast tissue should discuss personalized screening plans, including additional imaging like ultrasound or MRI.
Regular mammograms, combined with self-examinations and clinical check-ups, form a comprehensive approach to breast health. If you need expert guidance, visit us today for your consultation.
