Why no mammography before 35 year age???i had done usg for nipple discharge and its normal and dr told me that usg is normal so no need to do mammogram as you are below age. so plz tell me that if i will not do  mammogram than i may miss something .

No need to worry , what your doctor said is absolutely correct. Since the breast is denser and has more fatty elements at younger age group,ULTRASOUND is the best choice. Abnormal nipple discharge should be investigated, please give full history of your case and would be happy to help. You can consult me online for further details.
