Mammogram while breastfeeding

[embeth]

Anyone had one?
I've just been seen at the breast clinic for a couple
Of lumps I have.. Consultant said he felt nothing concerning and that he thinks they're little blockages. He wants me to get a mammogram and ultrasound. I'm worried about having a mammogram! Not about the actual test although I know that's not going to be too much fun especially with milk flying everywhere but I'm more worried about the results. I've read it needs an experienced person to read one in a breastfeeding person.. I don't want to be worried unnecessarily as my breasts will be dense from feeding xx

Maybe that's why the ultra sound too? Read in conjunction they may give a clearer picture.

I would tbh not get a mammogram personally. Too much controversy and too many studies showing they can actually cause problems.

There is a lot on the topic. I would read before deciding so you can weigh the pros and cons.
