Mammograms – What You Need to Know

How to Prepare for a Mammogram

Below are some useful tips to help you prepare for a mammogram:

– Choose a service center that specializes in mammograms.

– Visit the same center every time to make it easy to compare your results.

– For the first time of visiting a new center, prepare the information about the previous biopsies, mammograms, or other breast procedures.

– Consider wearing pants or skirt so that you only have to take off the top and bra during the procedure.

– Talk with your doctor about any recent problems or changes in the breasts before the mammogram. [6]
