A mammogram is a specialized X-ray imaging technique used to examine breast tissue for signs of Breast cancer or other abnormalities. It can help detect tumors that may not be felt during a physical exam. Mammograms are typically recommended for women starting at age 40, although guidelines may vary based on individual risk factors. The procedure is quick and usually involves compressing the breast between two plates to obtain clear images.
What else can I help you with?
What does it mean to have dark circles around your nipples?
it means that you tan yourself or pay to get your nipple and arura darkened.
You feel a pain in your right breast but you are a man..is that a sign of breast cancer?
I would say no, because breast cancer is usually painless and a woman doesn't find out until her mamagram or feeling a lump. If there is no lump or discharge from your nipple then I wouldn't worry. If you have a high history of breast cancer in your family, then go have your Dr to examine your breast to get peace of mind. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/malebreastcancer.htmlMale breast cancer is rare. It happens most often to men between the ages of 60 and 70. Risk factors for male breast cancer include exposure to radiation, a family history of breast cancer and having high estrogen levels, which can occur with diseases like cirrhosis or Klinefelter's syndrome.Symptoms of male breast cancer include lumps, changes to the nipple or breast skin, or discharge of fluid from the nipple. Treatment for male breast cancer is usually a mastectomy, which is surgery to remove the breast. Other treatments include radiation, chemotherapy and/or hormone therapy.
