TIPS FOR A BETTER MAMMOGRAM
• On the day of your mammogram, do not use any deodorant, lotion, cream, or powder on your underarms or breasts. These could intertere with a clear mammogram.
• If your breasts get tender around the time of your period, schedule your mammogram for one week after your period ends.
• If you have had mammograms at another facility, have previous results available to the radiologist at your current exam. Also bring a list of places and dates of earlier mammograms, as well as biopsies and other breast treatments you received.
° Before the exam, describe any breast symptoms or problems you are having.
° If you do not hear from your healthcare protessional within 10 days, contact him or her.
