What Does This Ultrasound Of Breast Indicate?
Question: Went to doctor due to a indentation on my breast she wasnt too concern but sent me to do breast ultrasound they want to do further testing with a diagnostic mammogram... Havent gotten results from dr due to she on vacation diagnostic facility called me should i be concern
Brief Answer:
Relax, mammogram is often requested with a scan.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
Actually without looking at the results of the ultrasound, it is difficult to assess the actual situation.
There is no need to be concerned however.
Often, lesions are not clarified on an ultrasound scan, and a diagnostic mammogram is usually requested along with the scan.
So please do not worry.
Go ahead and get that done.
You can then revert with the reports of both procedures.
If possible, can you obtain the result of the ultrasound scan?
Do you have any ominous family or personal history of cancers?
Do write back with the clarifications.
Looking forward to hearing from you
Take care.

No cancer im my family .... When doctor examined my breast she said it felt like the duct but sent me for ultrasound.......but now mammagram is being requested
Brief Answer:
They are often requested together, do not worry.
Detailed Answer:
There is nothing to worry, please get it done.
As I said, these two investigations are often requested, and carried out in conjunction.
You can revert once you have either / both of the reports in hand.
Once you upload them, I will have a better idea of what is going on.
