The first symptoms of breast cancer

Breast cancer – what tests should be performed?
Dorota Gardias noted that women in various stages of the disease see doctors, sometimes too late, and they hear the diagnosis that they only have a few years of life left. She appealed: Grandmothers, test yourself!
– I’ll tell everyone to get regular check-ups. After 30 years of age, ultrasound, after 40, mammography. And please don’t be afraid that it hurts. There is discomfort, but it is really survivable. Go ahead! – Dorota Gardias encouraged.
Breast cancer diagnosis
Most often, breast cancer is detected by mammography. The examination is quick and painless and could save your life. Because thanks to the examination, even microcalcifications can be detected. Mammography also enables the biopsy of disturbing changes. Mammography should be performed by women aged 35 to 40 every two years. After the age of 50, mammography should be done every year.
Another test that can detect breast cancer is ultrasound. It is an element of in-depth diagnostics and is used to assess breast cancer.
An ultrasound is performed when any changes appear in the breast. In the case of women between 35 and 40 years of age, the best solution is an ultrasound scan, because in this period of life the glandular tissue that produces food is predominant. After the age of 40, mammography is a better option.
