Anyone else had a breast sono? UPDATE
I had my mamo today and Dr. suggest sono because I have dense tissue. No issues but it was a really weird uncomfortable procedure. It didn’t hurt but not a fan. Hopefully results will be good and I’m happy that I have health care that will cover preventative. Just a weird experience. Same for anyone else?
Eta: got the all clear today!!! Just to be clear the tech was very professional but for me I guess the gel and everything was a weird ticklish feeling and just lasted longer than I expected. I'm in the minority here. Actual mamogram wasn't so bad.
I don't want to discourage anyone from going it wasn't horrible just another new adventure in women's healthcare for me ??

Re: Anyone else had a breast sono?
I have to agree. I always have a sonogram after the Mammo, and I find the sono to be more uncomfortable. However, it's worth it for them to be able to get the clear pictures they need. Hope you're results are good.

Re: Anyone else had a breast sono?
Never had a breast sono but I always feel violated after a pelvic exam and the few times I had to have an internal sono when pregnant I felt super violated and it took me a long time to get over the creepy feeling.
So I hear you!

Re: Anyone else had a breast sono?
I had a breast sono. What made you uncomfortable? Obviously, I didn't love it but it certainly wasn't uncomfortable. The tech was friendly and put a paper gown over me that just had my right breast exposed. The whole lasted about 15 minutes.

Re: Anyone else had a breast sono?
None of it is comfortable! Hate it! But honestly it's good medical practice to send you for both, especially where we live. I used to exaggerate complaints to prompt the gyn to order a sono too. Better to be safe than sorry.

iTA it wasn’t uncomfortable but it wasn’t anything fun. It was over quickly and it was done professionally I didn’t feel too awkward or uncomfortable.

Re: Anyone else had a breast sono?
I routinely have breast sonos every six months and a mammo once a year. I don't find them uncomfortable. I've had an echo done by a male tech and that didn't bother me. He was looking at my heart not my boobs.
They aren't bad, show things more clearly than just the mammo. I take a Tylenol if my chest is sore, that usually goes away in a day.

I had one done years ago but I didn’t think it was uncomfortable. It was very quick. And I just had my first mammo done last month and it wasn’t as bad as I was expecting. One side hurt more than the other side when they were doing it though.

Re: Anyone else had a breast sono?
Ive been having mammos and sonos since I was 30. Im now 43. I dont find either uncomfotable. Now waiting for the results is a whole other situation.

I find the mammo WAY more uncomfortable than the sono. I don't remember the sono being uncomfortable in any way - maybe I was just too terrified to notice b/c I was waiting to hear if the mass I found was cancer (it wasn't!).

Same! My annual protocol is a mammo followed by a sono bc of dense breast tissue.

Re: Anyone else had a breast sono?
I had that done prior to my mastectomy and yeah, it kind of left a queasy feeling in my stomach. It didn’t hurt but it was uncomfortable, and my nerves were at an all-time high because I had found a lump and was scared. And it took awhile. The mammo was much easier.

I have a mammo and sono every year. I don't think it's a big deal. It's quick and painless.

Re: Anyone else had a breast sono?
I wonder if I am in the minoriity too then by feeling violated by those internal sonos aka the Dildo Cam.
Because I almost felt like I needed counselling after each one of those.

Re: Anyone else had a breast sono?
I had one done with my first (and only) mammo. I thought the mammogram was worse. As the sonogram tech was doing it, he told me I had "dense tissue" soit seemed to last a while - but I think it was only ordered since it was my first and they wanted a baseline.
The tech was very nice and while it wasn't a good time, I didn't feel uncomfortable.

I don't remember be bothered by that at all. I think I was just excited since I don't think they would have "seen" anything with the outside one at that time. 
I also had no idea it was even a thing - but I was ok with it.
But I can see why some might find it - unsettling. Dildo cam is pretty funny, though!

I had to deal with problems conceiving. I think when you're getting internal sonos daily it almost becomes second nature. It's hard to remember...maybe the first few times I felt weird about it, but after the hundredth, I didn't even think twice.

Sonos don’t bother me. Hate mammograms. I’ve been getting them since I was 30 so I just grit my teeth and get through it. I’m on hiatus now though because I’m breastfeeding so the tests of fun will start again after I stop.

LOL, same here! I always have had a sono and mammo. I don't mind either, mammo doesn't hurt at all and sono definitely doesn't/ As PP said, I like the warm liquid feeling! Exactly what was uncomfortable wit the sono?

I had both done at the same time the first time & it was way weirder than I expected. I had a sono on my leg years early & the worst part was getting the goo off my leg.
The breast sono took longer than I expected & was kind of painful because the tech pressed down hard at certain times.
I get a kidney sono every year & that is painful sometimes too.
The internal sono was annoying too b/c it seems to take so long & after have a mama, and the both sonos back to back, I just really want to put my own clothes back on.
I also had internal radiation and that was terrible. I was quick & relatively painless (just warm & awkward), but that was very violating feeling. I'm not sure why more so than a sono or exams. I think maybe because I felt like a science experiment & the doctors have to leave the room while I was laying there with this thing inside me. It's very creepy. and also b/c my doc was training a resident & so it was very weird being show & tell & then
basically being her trial run to get it all set up. She wasn't as good at it as the main dr.
Fortunately I only needed 3 sessions, but I wallowed in self pity the rest of the day each time, starting with eating french toast alone in a diner & buying stuff I didn't need at Sephora.

Re: Anyone else had a breast sono? UPDATE
I think everyone has a different feeling of uncomfort. I wasn't being hurt by the sono.but it just felt very weird to me. An almost uncomfortable ticklish feeling. And let's be honest being half naked even in front of a professional is still not fun. ??
