Are there contraindications to mammography?
The procedure is a safe diagnostic method, but in certain cases it may be postponed or replaced with alternative examinations.
Absolute contraindications:
-
First trimester of pregnancy – X-rays can potentially harm fetal development.
-
Breastfeeding – the procedure is not recommended, as milk-filled breast tissue reduces the informativeness of the examination.
-
Age under 40 – young women’s breast tissue is more sensitive to radiation, and its structure makes cancer diagnosis by standard mammography more difficult.
-
For patients under 40, breast ultrasound is used.
Is mammography painful?
The procedure might cause slight discomfort because of breast fixation, but that feeling goes away quickly.
How often do you need to undergo mammography?
Women over 40 are recommended to undergo an examination once a year.
Why is digital mammography better than traditional mammography?
Digital mammography provides clearer images and reduces radiation exposure to practically zero.
Can you undergo mammography before 40 y.o.?
Yes, if there are indications such as pain, lumps, or a family history of breast disease.
How fast can I get back my results?
The results of an examination are available in several hours or the next day.
