Breast Cancer Awareness! Mammograms Help 😍

✨, girls have heard the word "mammogram" and secretly think...Whoa, that sounds scary, or maybe some people are confused about what that has to do with us? Today we're going to bring everyone to know "Mammogram" as easy to understand, fun, and practical as possible! ✨

❤️ What is a mammogram?

Mammogram is a special breast tomography that uses low-energy radiation to find abnormalities such as lumps, cysts, or even cancer that have not yet shown symptoms! It sounds difficult, but it is actually an examination that has saved the lives of countless women.

❤️ Why the mammogram?

1. Detect early breast cancer without symptoms.

2. If there is a lump, pain or fluid flowing from the nipples, check now.

3. Girls aged 40 + should check every year. ACR recommended.

4. If someone has breast cancer in the house, you should consult the doctor when to check.

❤️ Advantages of mammograms

A small lump can be seen before it is really burning. There is no residual radiation. Don't be afraid of fluorescent humans. The radiation dose is small. It is definitely not that risky. The examination may hurt a little when the breast is pressed with a plastic sheet, but it is not even crying! Choose a chest that is not very tight, such as after menopause, will help you get less pain!

❤️ What is BI-RADS? Know it. No heartbreak later!

Read the mammogram and find the word BI-RADS and numb? Come here and tell it in a very simple way! BI-RADS, short for Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System, is a system used by radiologists to tell the level of abnormalities detected in the breast in a global way.

Let's see what each level means.

1.BI-RADS 0 - still unclear

👉 the images taken do not seem certain, need to be examined further, such as ultrasound or reshot.

2.BI-RADS 1 - Regular

No abnormalities found. 0% chance of cancer.

👉 check the mammogram once a year.

3.BI-RADS 2 - Non-cancer abnormal

Like a cyst or a normal tumor, the chance of cancer is 0%.

👉, check it out next year. Don't worry.

4.BI-RADS 3 - There is a very small chance of cancer.

Cancer chance < 2%

👉 should be closely monitored, repeated every 6 months to 2 years.

5.BI-RADS 4 - Getting Suspicious!

The chance of cancer is 2-95%.

👉 Doctors often recommend drilling a biopsy for examination.

6.BI-RADS 5 - Highly Likely to Cancer

Cancer chance > 95%

👉 need to confirm and plan treatment immediately.

7.BI-RADS 6 - confirmed to be cancer

The case had already been biopsied and found to be definitely cancerous.

👉 Use this BI-RADS to plan the next treatment.

❤️ a mammogram?

Even at best, it's not 100% accurate. About 80-90% of cancers can be detected. (False-positive) It looks like cancer, but it's not. Doctors like to compare with old pictures to see changes.

❤️ summary!

Mammograms are not scary, but "essential," especially girls in their 40s ✨ or who have a family history of breast cancer, especially to pay attention, because this examination can save the breast, both the breast! and importantly...Please save your life.
