What Does My Lab Test Report Indicate?
Question: what is a diagnostic mammogram? One breast seems larger than before. I can not have contrast.
I can go XXXXXXX River Medical, dr
s office or Tufts where I have done mammograms before. I'm scared.
XXXXXXX I had trouble a long time ago at Marlboro Hospital mammogram that they lifted me off the floor while in the breast clamp. Ended up on bedrest with back pain then. That was just a screening memmogram. Same thing happened to girlfriend who came with me. A long time ago, left biopsy 2x of left breast. Came out ok.If necessary, refer question to GYN oncology. I hope there is no problem. Dr. said he may refer me to surgeon for biopsy.

Brief Answer:
Breast ultrasound advised
Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
I understand your health concerns and anxiety about it.
I am Dr Manisha Jain and u have a research paper in benign lesion of breast so will be glad to answer on your questions about it.
In my opinion you need to get an ultrasound of breast first and in case there is some suspicious lesion then further testing can be done otherwise no need to get a mammogram.
But I would like to know how many times you have had a mammogram so far.
Also the report of the biopsy to have a look at the nature of tissue taken for analysis.
Waiting for your response.
Regards
Dr Manisha
