Common problems with mammography examination

In order to achieve better inspection results, doctors will tell you some common questions before doing mammography. Let’s learn about them.

1. Women should not do breast mammography during pregnancy, and women who plan to have a child within a year are not suitable for breast mammography because a small amount of radiation may be generated, which may affect the health of the baby.

2. Please choose and wear appropriate clothes before inspection. When inspecting, be sure to take off your coat and accessories completely.

3. Women should not apply any substances around their breasts to prevent these substances from affecting the effectiveness of subsequent breast mammography and the accuracy of the test results.

3. The actual effect of high-quality thread is inseparable from the compression of good breast tissue. In order to clearly display the image of superficial tissue and reduce personal radiation dose, the operating staff will squeeze the breast as flat as possible. Being oppressed makes you feel pressure or pain, but each oppression usually does not last more than a minute.

Therefore, you must also pay attention to the following during the inspection:

1. Get rid of anxiety and choose a posture that makes you feel relatively comfortable.

2. A body that completely releases stress can reduce the discomfort caused by oppression.

3. The breast tissue can bear a lot of pressure during slow pressurization. Please keep the body still until the pressure is relieved.

4. Please avoid 3-5 days before and after your menstrual period as much as possible. The best time is generally around the 7th to 10th day after the end of menstruation, because at this time the effect of estrogen on the breast is the least, the breast is in a relatively static state, and breast diseases or abnormalities are easy to be detected.

Postmenopausal women can choose the time to check their breasts at will.
