How many days will a mammogram be painful?

If there is something wrong with the breast, women need to go to the hospital for a breast mammography examination, which can detect various breast diseases such as hyperplasia and tumors in time. Some patients may worry about the pain during the examination. So, how many days will the pain last during a mammogram? It will hurt for up to two hours. This pain is mainly caused by squeezing. Generally, after the squeezing is over, the pain will be relieved immediately until it disappears, so don't worry too much.

When taking a mammographic X-ray, a breast splint is used to clamp the breast. Because the breast is hemispherical, a certain amount of pressure needs to be applied to the splint to fix the breast. This pressure process will cause pain. The intensity of this pain is not very strong and it does not last long, just one or two minutes, and the pressure will be relieved after the filming is completed. There may be some pain during the squeezing process, but it is not unbearable.

What preparations should be made before the examination?

(1) It is best to do a mammography test between two menstrual periods. Do not do a mammography test during menstruation.

(2) Mammography is not recommended for women under 35 years old, because the breasts of women under 35 years old are relatively dense, and mammography is sometimes difficult to see clearly. Color Doppler ultrasound is the first choice.

(3) Mammography is not a panacea. It cannot replace color Doppler ultrasound. Therefore, it is best to do both color Doppler ultrasound and mammography together. The two are complementary. Some lesions can be seen with mammography and some with color Doppler ultrasound. It is best to do both together. That’s it.

The mammography system is a low-dose breast X-ray technology that can clearly display all layers of breast tissue, detect breast hyperplasia, various benign and malignant tumors, and breast tissue structural disorders. It can observe tiny calcification points and calcification clusters smaller than 0.1 mm. It is the most effective and reliable way to detect and diagnose breast cancer at an early stage, especially for early breast cancer that is clinically impossible and has tiny calcification clusters as the only manifestation. It has characteristic diagnostic significance.

The breast mammography system has the characteristics of clear imaging, convenient and quick examination operation, and low radiation. The instrument can accurately detect the shape, size, density, and properties of breast hyperplasia, lesions, masses, and calcifications. It can accurately judge and identify calcification points in breast lesions that cannot be identified by color ultrasound and is known as the "gold standard" for international breast disease examination. With the improvement of living standards and the deepening of publicity on female breast diseases, more female friends no longer hold the mentality of seeking medical treatment only after discovering breast disease, but pay more and more attention to regular breast examination and maintenance. The breast molybdenum-palladium examination system is deeply favored by female friends due to its many examination advantages.
