Understanding Breast Density

Breast density is a key factor in breast health, yet many women are unaware of its significance. Dense breast tissue can make it harder to detect abnormalities on mammograms, which is why understanding your breast density is crucial for accurate screening and early detection.

What is Breast Density?

Breast density refers to the amount of fibrous and glandular tissue compared to fatty tissue in your breasts. Dense breasts have more fibrous tissue, which can hide potential issues on standard mammograms.
