It often happens that a woman with the appearance of pain or tightness in the chest, with discharge from the mammary glands, disregards these symptoms. Otherwise, she has fear, and maybe shock. These examples of behavior will not solve the problem. It would be more reasonable to consult a doctor and undergo a mammogram procedure.
Mammography of the breast
The most effective and practically unique way of detection of tumors of a mammary gland is mammography diagnostics. The basis of mammography is X-ray diagnostics with the help of a special device - a mammogram. Mammography is used to detect breast cancer in the early stages of development. This procedure can be carried as preventive and diagnostic. For the purpose of prevention, all women aged 40 years are examined. Diagnostic mammography to a woman is performed according to the appointment of a mammalian doctor.
Digital mammography
Not so long ago, the method of conducting the study was film mammography. Now increasingly use digital mammography. Still it is called a computer. It is considered more effective, albeit costly. The advantage of digital mammography is the ability to view, process and store information about each study using a computer and digital technologies. In order to do a digital mammogram, it will take about 20 minutes. The procedure is completely painless.
Irradiation with mammography
This method of breast diagnostics, like digital mammography, virtually eliminates x-ray irradiation of other parts of the body or internal organs by almost 100%. In addition, during the mammogram the most reduced dose of radiation is used, therefore the procedure is considered absolutely harmless and safe.
Women should remember - do not wait for the manifestation of dangerous signs of breast cancer ! Take prophylactic mammograms and be healthy!
