REPLIED Check Mark

Hello,

Yes, I would check with your GYN so he or she can order a mammo and ultrasound.

You have mentioned that your breast is "different" Can you elaborate a bit? This may help me to better answer your questions.

ACCEPTED Check Mark

Do you mean as in the nipple appears inverted, if so,
I would not hesitate to have your doctor evaluate this.

With your family history, it is of course especially important for you to perform self exam and have a yearly mammo.

Here is some info, please let me know if you have questions:
