Does Menstrual Cycle Influence Mammogram Accuracy?

I was menstruating during my routine mammogram. Doctor Office reported that my mammo itself showed benign tissues in breast, but prominent lymph nodules. I am scheduled to meet with a specialist. In meanwhile, I am wondering if the lymph prominency is due to my mensus?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the lymph nodes being detected then it could be due to something else not due to menses even if it being taken in this phase, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
