I was sent for a routine mammogram.

They said my breast tissue was "too dense" for a clear picture, so was sent for a breast ultrasound.
Results being sent to GP for appointment on Friday, but radiographer said there were several large cysts and my milk ducts were very dilated.

What do you think? Should I be losing sleep?

So as not to drip feed, I'm nearly 44, have breastfed 3 children for a year each, no family history. No pain, discharge or lumps (which can be felt by either myself or GP)
Also FYI I am overseas and this is private medical care, so not NHS.

DH is away and need some hand holding.

Didn't want to read and run... When I had a breast lump at 32 they did an ultrasound rather than a mammogram because apparently "younger" women's boobs are better seen that way. My lump was "abandoned" fat, I'd recently shed a few stone and the lump had lost touch with other fat and ended up stranded.,..

I don't know about the other stuff but would say perhaps your boobs are too "young/dense" for mammogram and that in itself isn't a bad thing. Hopefully someone else will be along soon with a better answer.
