@tittokwithemily: 🎀 “Oh, I already know I have dense breasts.” Okayyyy but…how do you know? 👀😂 Here’s something I wish more women knew: you cannot determine breast density by how your breasts look or feel. Dense breast tissue is a mammographic finding — we need the mammogram to actually see what type of tissue you have. And having dense breasts is NOT rare! Around 40% of women over 40 have dense breast tissue. Dense tissue matters because it appears white on a mammogram…and many breast cancers can also appear white. Think looking for a snowball in a snowstorm. ❄️ But dense breasts do NOT mean mammograms aren’t important. Mammography is still an essential screening tool, and your care team can help determine whether any additional screening is appropriate for YOU. 🩷 Know your density. Know your risk. Get your mammogram. 🎀 Emily Advice™ — not medical advice. This is TikTok, not your doctor’s office.

Thoughts on if MRI should be standard care protocol for women with dense breasts? MRI was the only thing that caught my multi focal ILC.

I had a patient tell me that recently and I looked at her CAD and said actually you’re not dense. I explained scattered to her.😂

[Snicker]The way I laughed out loud!!! Just because they’re small doesn’t mean they’re dense. Just because you’re older doesn’t mean they are not! Just because you have one crunchy spot doesn’t mean they’re dense. And etc, etc, etc!🤷🏽♀️

We have a picture in our mammo rooms and I like to show them what it looks like and based of last years report I show them which one they are.

Also there’s different levels of density. Patients will say oh my breasts are dense this is pointless but they’re actually not crazy dense

I always tell them that you can “feel dense” but not “look dense”. For the docs it’s how they feel, for us it’s how they look on the mammogram.

I get this from the younger girls all the time. “My doctor told me I had dense breasts”. Most are coming for their baseline. Lol

Also telling me you have dense breast tissue is like telling me you have blonde hair. Cool.

If I had a dollar for every patient that told me they have dense breasts and I go to take an image and they are mostly fatty… well I wouldn’t need to do mammos anymore 😆💰
