      A different idea for a mammogram. The current method involves flattening the breast as much as possible between two plates which can be very uncomfortable, even painful for women.

        Can be uncomfortable, even painful? Nah, it is highly likely to be very painful.

        Plenty of woman experience extreme discomfort. If men had to endure this amount of discomfort, there would’ve been a solution 20 years ago

            just like how they replaced prostate exams for us yeah?

            1: They did, digital recital exams are no longer recommended as a screening for cancer.

            2: I’ve had one, they’re mildly uncomfortable but not painful.
