[quote=Anonymous]Also, understand breast density is related to age and your menstrual status. Non-menopausal women are supposed to be more dense and that does not mean they are at greater risk. That's why the new guidelines don't like the 'start at 40' rule. I am 53 and NOT menopausal. Not even showing signs of slowing down, really, according to my doc. This is consistent with female relatives who stopped between 55 and 57. So I can easily see a radiologist looking at my age, not knowing my menstrual status and thinking my tissue is too dense for my age. The breast density risk comes in after menopause, for women who don't develop more fatty tissue. For pre-menopausal women, it's normal.[/quote]
