[Never Get a Mammogram in Your 20s] The standard screening method is a breast X-ray
Getting a breast X-ray
to check the overall breast
is actually the standard screening method
This actually applies more to Westerners
[It’s Different for Koreans] it doesn’t really fit Asian women
So even if you get a breast X-ray
[Can’t See Anything Due to Dense Breasts] for most people it just ends with,
“You have dense breast tissue”
Some patients are like
[(Patient shocked) Is dense breast.. a bad thing?] "Oh no, what do I do? I have a dense breast"
They say like this
(Lucky you) Dense breasts are a good thing
As you age,
they naturally turn into fatty tissue
[No More Dense Breasts] So over time, your breasts become less dense
That is why elder people
only by x-ray
you can see inside of the breast clearly
When you're younger your breast is more dense
[Breast X-ray for younger women is useless..] the X-ray cannot pass through it
When that happens
we should take a look at ultrasound
[It applies to 99% of young Korean women] All young Koreans have dense breast
[Korean women in your 20-30s do breast ultrasound first!!] No matter how fat you are
there are many fibroglandular tissue
[Cases women in their 20s take breast X-ray?] But why do they do the X-ray?
They said you can't see through because of the dense breast
There are exceptions
Ones who have family history on breast cancer
Ones who had breast cancer
[Will shoot x-ray regardless of age!!] will be shooting breast x-rays
That is more beneficial!
To find breast cancer early on
is better
