Tips for getting a mammogram
* It is advised not to have your mammogram the week before you get your period or during your period since your breasts
may be tender or swollen at this time.
* When going for a mammogram do not use deodorant, perfume, or body talc as they can show up as white spots on the X-ray.
* Wear a top with a skirt or pants, instead of a dress as you will need to undress from your waist up for the mammogram.
* If you are on Hormone replacement therapy stop it two weeks prior to the mammogram or else they may cause shadows on the
X-ray, which may lead to error in reporting.
