Has anyone experienced any problems with breastfeeding mothers having
mammograms?
Many thanks,

It is my understanding that mammography on lactating women is not
efficient..and that the results are not the best, as the tissue is dense.
If there is a problem, I think they might use other techniques. Kathleen
