The Ugly Truth About Mammograms

We got a great question during our Mail Bag segment, and it’s something every woman needs to see. Let’s talk mammograms… Now to be clear, no one’s saying “don’t get screened.” You should. Early detection matters. What we’re talking about is HOW you get screened. Mammograms have been the standard for years, but they come with tradeoffs: radiation exposure, false positives, and limitations with dense tissue. More importantly, there’s studies that’ve raised concerns, including studies showing much higher rates of breast cancer in women undergoing routine mammograms over time. There are other options, like thermography and ultrasound, that don’t use radiation and may be worth discussing depending on the situation. Point is, this isn’t about avoiding screening. It’s about being informed and choosing the right approach. Curious where people land on this.
