You can find endless excuses for not having regular mammograms, but be guided by the fact that breast cancer is one of the most common diseases in women. Dr. Maja Stojčevska Çapova, radiologist at the "Acibadem Sistina" clinical hospital, says that only early diagnosis saves lives. No member of my family has suffered from breast cancer, so I will not suffer from this disease either - It is true that one of the risk factors for the occurrence of breast cancer is genetic predisposition, and in case one of family members is or has been affected by this disease, it is very likely that you will also inherit this disease, especially if your mother or sister were affected in your family. However, almost 85% of women who are affected by breast cancer have no family history.
To be safe, it's a good idea to get checked! I'm too young to get breast cancer - Breast cancer occurs more often in women who are over 55 years old. However, this Moldova Email List disease can also appear in younger women. Do regular self-checks and talk to your doctor about potential risk factors. Mammogram radiation is dangerous – The radiation you will receive from a mammogram is less than the radiation you would receive from flying from Europe to the US. You would probably want to travel to the US despite your fear of radiation, so get your mammogram checked. Modern digital mammograms have minimal radiation, have better resolution and provide more accurate diagnosis. I'm afraid of the diagnosis - Don't jump to conclusions before doing the checkup.
But even if you are diagnosed with any changes, it is possible that these changes are benign. It's good that if the mammographic film diagnoses you in time with suspicious changes, the doctors will intervene immediately and the results will be on your side. Don't wait until it's too late! Mammograms are too expensive – Don't try to find excuses that you can't budget for a mammogram once every two or three years. Is mammography painful? - Mammographic control is not painful at all. During the test you will feel only a slight pressure on the breast. Filming is short, while pressure is used to achieve better image quality and use a smaller dose of radiation. I have no lumps (lumps) in my breast - Even if you did not feel any changes or lumps in your breast during the self-exam, the mammogram can detect many small tumors of 3-4 mm in size, which you cannot feel or see during the self-exam.
