Hey MG, actually i just heard from another blogger that her gynae uses the ultrasound to scan the breasts. the gynae said it is effective in searching for lumps. i’m really confused la. is this a new method? i had a mamogram done many moons ago and it’s just like the video you posted. not painful at all….just a tad uncomfortable cos the equipment was rather cold…hehehehe. keep us posted on your appt.

The gynae said that the ultrasound is to detect any cysts.

hi..mumsgather…thks for visiting me…oh about this mamogram thing..i did it a few months back…it is not that painful…when you position yrself well onto the plate…and you must not be tense…it is worth doing it since you had a lump…the earlier you had yr test the better…

Thanks for your reassurance Jasmine.

It’s painful. And more so if your breasts are big. I had an experience. I wrote it in detail in my other blog. Read it if you’re interested.
