What to do when a Mammogram is Abnormal?

A mammogram is a test that displays breast tissues through an X-ray image. This test is known as a mammography. Through this scan, one is able to view the inner structures of the breast and be able to identify abnormal tissues. These tissues account for breast defects. These cells at times triple excessively and their accumulation leads to abnormalities. Some of the results of an abnormal mammogram include tumors, cysts, and calcifications. Breast cancer is also detected by this technique. Abnormal mammogram is therefore a breast exam to test for defects. Mammography has proved its efficacy in picking out various breast defects. However, it is not able to diagnose some cancers due to various factors. Women have therefore been advised to conduct a Breast Self-Examination test, (BSE). This has proved more efficient.
