I had an ultrasound and mammogram today

During ultrasound I heard dr said to her assistant that write BI RAD 2 for right one and BI RAD 3 for left one

Can anyone explain what does that mean

Thanks

    no you don’t need to push for an MRI Rizz. Birads 3 means that whatever they did find is mostly likely benign (good news!). But there is something there and your doctor should go over that with you if the radiologist did not. The only reason to push for an mri would have been if they said nothing was found at all but you still had symptoms of something and felt uneasy. That’s not what you’re dealing dealing though. They will let you know what the imaging found at your next appointment I’m assuming, and you can’t go from there.

    rachelstorm98 you got a birads score they just didn’t tell you about it or give you the official report because there was nothing to tell. You can certainly call to request it but it’s not out of the norm to simply let the patient know “Everything was clear” and leave it at that. It doesn’t mean they missed something and it doesn’t mean you didn’t get a score. At my recent appt. they very unofficially said not long after my mammo “everything was fine on mammogram” and then proceeded to give me my ultrasound which showed several cysts. As of yet I still have not received an official report or a birads score (which would be 2 or 3 depending on what kind of cysts they are). I was just told verbally in the office what they found. The same happened at my last mammo and US 3 years ago. Stop worrying about a birads score. For your issues specifically the reason why you need to stop worrying is because of your age. The lumps and bumps and pain are because of your ever changing breast issue. You’re not even 20! I used to teach dance to high school students and one of my freshman was developing breasts that were very uneven in size. No her parents didn’t jump to conclusions that she had IBC. It was actually just a normal process of development, as are the issues you’re experiencing. So no you don’t need to go back and get another look at anything. Call your doctors office if you like and get a copy of the report but stop worrying.
