Preparing for Your Mammogram

Preparing for your mammogram is simple and straightforward. It is recommended that you wear a two-piece outfit on the day of your exam, as you will need to undress from the waist up. You should avoid using deodorant, perfume, lotion, or powder on your chest or underarms on the day of your exam, as these products can interfere with the accuracy of the mammogram. During the procedure, you will be asked to hold still while the images are taken. After the exam, you should avoid using any products on your chest or underarms until after the results have been reviewed.

Frequently Asked Questions about Baptist Health Mammogram Center

What is a mammogram?

A mammogram is a low-dose X-ray that is used to detect breast cancer in its early stages. It can find small lumps or abnormalities in the breast tissue before they can be felt during a physical exam.

Who should get a mammogram?

Women who are over the age of 40, or who have a family history of breast cancer, should get a mammogram every year. Women who are at high risk of breast cancer may need to start getting mammograms earlier or more frequently.

What can I expect during a mammogram?

During a mammogram, you will be asked to undress from the waist up and put on a gown. You will stand in front of a machine that will compress your breast between two plates for a few seconds while an X-ray is taken. The process is quick and usually only takes about 20 minutes.

Is a mammogram painful?

Some women may experience discomfort or mild pain during a mammogram, but it should not be unbearable. The compression of the breast tissue may cause some temporary discomfort, but it is necessary to get a clear image.
