Today is a significant day for women’s breast health! 🎉 Starting today, September 10, 2024, mammography facilities are required to inform patients whether their breasts are classified as "dense" or "not dense." If you receive a report indicating dense breasts, it's essential to follow up with your healthcare provider to discuss further imaging options like ultrasound or MRI. This new regulation empowers women to take control of their breast health and ensure they get the screenings they need! 💪💗 I interviewed Dr. Robin Seitzman from DenseBreast-Info.org, who explained that having dense breasts increases both the risk of developing breast cancer and the possibility of cancer being hidden on a mammogram. Take charge of your health by understanding your mammogram results and seeking additional screenings if necessary.

🌸 New FDA Guidelines on Breast Density Starting in September 2024 🌸 Starting this month, the FDA will begin requiring mammogram facilities to inform patients about their breast density status—a significant update in women’s healthcare. Here’s why this is critical: ✨ Dense breast tissue can make it harder to detect cancer through mammograms. ✨ Women with dense breasts face a slightly higher risk of breast cancer. ✨ This new regulation empowers women to make more informed decisions about their breast health. Knowing your breast density status allows for informed discussions with your healthcare provider about additional screening options like 3D mammograms, ultrasound, or MRI. 🗣️ Take control of your breast health—ask questions, get the facts, and be proactive! #BreastDensity #FDAUpdate #BreastHealth #WomenInHealth #BreastCancerAwareness #Mammograms #DenseBreasts #CancerPrevention #HealthcareUpdates #MedicalNews #PatientEducation #WomenWellness #LIFTafterBreastCancer #communitysupport

Today is World Dense Breast Day—a day dedicated to raising awareness about the impact of breast density on cancer detection and women's health. Nearly 50% of women over 40 have dense breasts, which can make detecting cancer with standard mammograms more difficult. This is why understanding your breast density is crucial. At Assured Imaging, LLC - a Rezolut company, we offer advanced screening options like 3D mammography and dense breast ultrasounds to improve detection accuracy. Additionally, with new FDA requirements, all mammogram reports must now include breast density information, making it easier than ever to understand your risk. Need to schedule your mammo?

Men's and Women's healthcare seeking behaviour; I like to compare it to day and night. But today I'll remind us that breast cancer affects men too! Boys and girls, this is a call for all of us to self examine ourselves. Palpate, compare their sizes ( of note is that one is anatomically sightly larger than the other), is the nipple retracted? Are there any skin changes? You could just save yourself from late diagnosis from this practice that should be part of your routine.

💖 Your Girlfriend’s Guide to Breasts - From Felicia Reed 💖 Hey Girlfriend, it’s Felicia Reed here! Did you know I spent 15 years working in breast ultrasound? I’m not a physician, but I’ve seen firsthand how important it is to take care of our health. So let me share a few simple tips to help you take care of YOU: 1. Check your breasts—every single month. Pick the same time every month and get familiar with your body. When you know your breasts, you’ll know if something changes, and that’s powerful! 2. Get your mammogram. If you’re 40 or older, or have a family history of breast cancer, I recommend talking to your doctor about getting a mammogram, no matter what. I started having mammograms at 30 because my mom passed away at 40, and at 45, they caught my cancer early. Early detection matters. 3. Don’t skip your annual exam. Make sure your doctor checks your breasts every year. It’s another step in staying on top of your health. You are a powerhouse, girlfriend. Taking care of your body is one of the best things you can do for yourself. Follow these steps and stay strong! This is not medical advise this is girlfriends advice! #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth #TakeCareOfYou #EarlyDetectionMatters #FeliciaReed #BreastHealth #breastcancerawareness #feliciareedphotography

Amid ongoing debates around screening guidelines, these findings underscore the critical role of early detection in saving lives and maximizing years of life gained.
