What is it Like to Have a Mammogram?
During mammography, a qualified technologist will place your breast on a platform that is part of the mammography unit and then compress your breast with a paddle. You will feel pressure, but for most women, it is not uncomfortable. If you do have discomfort, just let the technologist know and she will use less pressure and/or fit the mammography unit with special pads designed to decrease discomfort.
Once the mammogram is taken, it goes to analysis and you should receive your results in about a week.
