Hi
At your age mammogram is not advisable as there is high chance if false positives at this age, if u don't have any lumps , don't worry..just consult a surgeon if u have doubt. If u have family history it is advisable to do Mri from 25 to 30 yrs of age to screen for breast cancer.Mammogram alternating with Mri is advised after 40 years of age if u have family history. If u don't have family history u can screen for breast cancer using mammogram from 40 to 45 years of age.
