What causes an increase in density?

Mine is in category b . But it also said that my mammogram was incomplete, it is because they can't see

Birad 4

Thank you.

Very helpful . Thank you

Very helpful thank you!

Great advice

QT imaging is now available and is superior to existing options High clarity, no radiation, density not a problem

Hello, 2 years ago I had stage 2b breast cancer surgery. about 6 months ago a small bump appeared, barely noticeable, after 3 months it became larger, I did an ultrasound, they said birads 3 and that it was granuloma, but there were 3 bumps. Another 3 months have passed, I see that 2 bumps have become visually larger, but they sometimes decrease and sometimes become inflamed and I want to go for an ultrasound more and more. Tell me, I read that granulomas can increase in size and hurt when touched over time, could it be that these 3 lumps are cancer that has relapsed again? more precisely, if education has become larger than before, is it bad? but at the same time, I read that granulomas can grow gradually 

Thank you so much for explaining

Thanks a lot for the information

Dr. Spencer is amazing! She saves lives ❤

Very informative

How do you go about getting a second opinion?

Thank you Dr. April for saying don't panic, I had a mammogram and I have a follow up because of fibroglandular density and they see a mass, so off to an ultrasound, not going to panic be positive and pray 😊

This is what my mammogram and breast ultrasound results are: IMPRESSION: ULTRASOUND SUSPICIOUS OF MALIGNANCY No suspicious sonographic or mammographic abnormalities are seen to correspond with the patient's right-sided breast pain. Clinical follow-up and management is recommended. Interval increase in size of slightly irregular focally dilated duct in the right breast at 3:00. Findings are suspicious for a small intraductal mass at this location given change in size and new internal vascular flow by Doppler. Ultrasound-guided biopsy is recommended for further evaluation. Notification was made to the clinician's office and the results were reviewed with the patient. OVERALL STUDY BIRADS: 4 Suspicious of malignancy Is this something concerning?

Hi! I just had my 3rd, 6 month routine ultra sound because I have 4 lumps. I’m birads 3 and they said since the lumps haven’t changed that it’s probably benign and wait until a year for my last ultra sounds to complete the 2 years check. I’m 37 and my aunt has breast cancer currently and she’s in her late 40’s. Should I get a 2nd opinion or am I good to wait for a year?😅

Oh, and my mom found the lump. Then they did a mammogram and told her everything was fine. My mom said, "But what about the lump on my chest?" So the doctor did a manual exam and found the lump. It was too high for the mammogram to catch anyway.

I want to know, when you give us the numbers of women who die of breast cancer, is this women who die of breast cancer only, or does this iclude women who die of the treatment of the breast cancer such as radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Because my mother died from radiation therapy. Nobody told us you can die from radiation therapy. My cousin was absolutely flabbergasted when I told him this. "But wait, isn't radiation therapy supposed to cure cancer, not cause cancer?" I thought it was supposed to cure cancer, but it caused another kind of cancer. So tell me. Are women dying from breast cancer? Or are they dying from the treatment?Because I keep hearing that screening mammograms are causing a lot of over treatment. If so, why are women not being told that they can die from the treatment. Women are assuming that they will be treated and live, not that they will be treated and they may die or have health problems the rest of their lives.

I was so hoping for a cure all but I guess vitamin d and prayer is all I got. Thank you for sharing this information with us

Thank you so much for posting this video!!

Birads 3 solid nodule 0.7cmto0.6 cm in usg scan report next further process tell me

Dr can I remove birads 3 fibroadenoma? please reply dr iam very feared

Hello, Doc. What will happen if you will wait for 6 months follow-up checkup after birads 3 classification from ultrasound? Is mammogram needed?

How about if you dont know your family health history? Im adopted and i just had my mammo and sono birads 3.

Thanks for this amazing video. I hope more doctors listen your speech

I have a extremely dense Brest classification D. I did a mammography and ultrasound. Could you please clarify , what does mean Retroareolar region - complex cyst vs intramammary lymph node - 5 x 6 x 5 mm.? Thank you

Hi Doctor! I have a categorie of birads 3 due to a bump on my right breast; I'm 21 year old, so doctors don't consider it something to worry about. However, on last August the size of it was 2 x 3 x 4mm And now, it's size is 7.6 x 4.6 x 7.4 mm Is it a concerning increase of its size ? Or it continues being something "probably bring" ? Thanks 🙏

Birads 3 for calcifications ? I think calcifications are benign (Bi 2) or Suspicious (Bi 4 minimum = biopsy )

I have it now after 3 days of having my 2nd booster. What can I do to ease the pain? Thanks

I know this is an older vid, a godsend and I do feel empowered! Thank you!

Thank u 💓 💗

2019 benign and 2022 probably benign i dont get this

I hate this bi rads 3 category. Leaves the patient (me) anxious for 6 months. My mom was diagnosed with two different breast cancers in both breasts. Metastatic. It has spread to lymph nodes and in lungs. Also had an aunt on mom's side die at age of 42 with breast cancer. My gail score is 23% yet they want me to wait 6 months 🤦‍♀️. There is asymmetry in right breast along with a small mass at 12:00 position. They usually do biopsies on me when they find something. (Been years since I've had to have anything biopsied) Don't like being in this bi rads 3 category. Basically it means they are just guessing if you ask me.....

Doctor I’m 44, no cancer history in my family. Did fist mammogram with Birads 3 and will have soon a control after half year. No cancer history should I do biopsy?

Hello, I just came across your video and I'm 37 an I had a mammogram and ultrasound and I'm also a Bi-rads 3 and was told to come back in six months to see if the tumor has changed or grown. I have two sisters who both have had breast cancer. One of my sisters was 39 the first time she had then again at the age 44. She is now 46 and my other sister was 41 when she was diagnosed now she's 42 and just finished radiation treatments in November. How can I get the specialist to do a biopsy on me? I don't want to wait 6 months longer with this tumor in my breast. My two older sisters also had cancer in the left breast which is where my tumor is. What should I do? Thank you

Please Watch, Like and Share with someone who may find an explanation of breast density helpful. It’s one of the most commonly asked questions that I get daily.

Six months ago I had birads 3 on diagnostic mammogram they also performed an ultrasound, they told me to come back in 6 months and I did … today I received the letter from the breast clinical saying I’m birads 3 again 😒 … what should I do ?! Thank you.

Hi Doctor Spencer, My Mum just recently did her test and the result reads thus: Both breasts are symmetrical. There is focal density Asymmetry in favour of the right breast. Increase density is seen on the upper outer breast with associated thickening of the trabecula. No facial masses seen. No calcifications (micro or macro) seen. Small axillary nodes are seen in the right axilla. The left breast is normal. Mild skin thickening is also seen on the right. IMP: Density Asymmetry of the right breast (BIRADS 3). There's no cancer related disease in the family, but I'm a bit scared letting her wait for six months before checking since it's a BIRADS 3 (which means it's probably Benign) I really would have to proceed for a biopsy, Please Doctor April what are your Thoughts? Between she's very stable and healthy! Sorry for the long Epistle!

Hi doctor sorry for consulting you this way but your doing such a great service reading through the comments. Was wondering if you can enlighten me if there can be any connect with me being categorized with birads3 last december and now i noticed i have a bald spot on my head, an alopecia type of bald spot? Im only 35 and my ff.up mammo will still be on june (6mos). I also just recently found out i have history of breast cancer in my family by asking my aunt which i didnt tell my surgeon. This is making me very anxious. Hope you can help. Thank you!

Im 25 and I discovered a lump in my right breast a month ago along with breast pain. I went to my physician and she referred me to get an ultrasound. I received my results yesterday and I was rated a Bi-rads 3. I am less anxious now but at the same time confused because there is so much uncertainty in that category. I don’t have any history of breast cancer in my family but I just want to stop wondering what this lump is and why im having so much pain. I don’t see my doctor for two weeks so here I am searching RUclips and google for support. Good luck to all on this journey ! 🙏🏾

This is very helpful. Thank you.

I really need your advice. I am in a BI-RADS 3 and I have a mass on the right side, a cyst on the left side and my left arm lymph node is bigger that 3 cm. I also have a family history ( 3 Aunts had breast cancer on my mom's side) around the same age like me. I will see a breast surgeon next week and scared to find out that I have cancer. What do you think Dr.?!

Birads 2 changed into birads3. haven't done usg from last 1 year.is it serious?

3

They don't usually do a biopsy unless it's a birad 4 or your imaging has come back the second time with a change of stability. I know I'm in a birad I've had this explain

It doesn't mean it's a higher score it just means that it's in a different category that's how they categories birad it's not a higher score
