Mammography is an X-ray examination of the breast that is used
to detect and diagnose breast disease, especially Breast
cancer. Mammogram is done when a lump is found.
Procedure
In mammography, the breasts
are compressed between two plates and generally up to three pictures are taken.
A cancerous area shows as a dense, white patch and can be seen on a mammogram
before it can be felt by manual examination. Mammography can indicate whether
a lump is malignant (infectious or cancerous) or benign.
Age
for testing Doctors suggest mammograms every year for
every woman starting at age 40 but if there is a family history of breast cancer
mammogram should be done at an earlier age.

Last here months back, I feel itchiness in my penis when intercourse with my wife. After one month I have seen rash in my penis head. First time it is itching but now it is silence.
What is the best solution for me?
It seems there was a bing hole in my right ear drum and I had a mild earing loss (conductive losses). As advised by the ENT Surgeon, I underwent CT scan too. He suggested me to undergo surgery by which my mastoid bone has to be open and all infection there has to be removed. I had the hole in the ear drum for the past 25 years and so far I had no problem except mild hearing loss. No ear discharge for the past 15 years. Even earlier also I used to have ear discharge very rarely. ENT surgeon suggested me to undergo the surgery what is called Mastoidectomy. I unable to take a call whether I should undergo surgery now or postpone to a time when I notice any further problem. I would like to know whether the problem gets aggravated if I do not undergo surgery. Whether it prevents further deterioation and improves the hearing? Kindly advise.
Ans:
hi babu, as u told that you have a hole in your ear drum, which is a connection between the external and the middle ear, thus making the middle ear prone to repeated infections. middle ear infections can become very severe when they become chronic which can also lead to permanent and conductive hearing loss. so it is advisable for you to not to wait and undergo mastoidectomy. gud luck.
