Lip Gloss Aug 2023 5:27pm, 6 Aug 2023 70,549 posts	0 Lip Gloss I find having to stand on my tip toes and turn sideways a struggle. Think it would be easier doing a triple somersault backwards into a pool easier 😂😂

leaguefreak Aug 2023 6:19pm, 6 Aug 2023 11,457 posts	0 leaguefreak I've not had the pleasure yet. I will go when called though as the spinal surgery I had as a teen means I had lots of x rays of my upper body during puberty so I think I heard somewhere i have a slightly increased risk. I don't think the same risks apply to modern practice. And anyway without the surgery I would have had far worse problems so it's a moot point.

Nellers Aug 2023 7:52pm, 6 Aug 2023 41,044 posts	0 Nellers Obviously I sympathise but I'm glad I don't have to go through the stress of mammograms, even though it's a valuable and important thing to have done. I can't help thinking that if the mammograph was something commonly used on men they'd have made it a lot less painful/stressful/traumatic by now.
Hanneke Aug 2023 7:55pm, 6 Aug 2023 108,188 posts	0 Hanneke Nellers, I'd think so. Men can get breast cancer too and do get a mammogram if there is suspicion.
Jaks Aug 2023 8:13pm, 6 Aug 2023 4,580 posts	0 Jaks My husband had a mammogram when he found a lump, he said it was painful but not as painful as the biopsy which thankfully came back negative.
