Preparing for a mammogram in the correct way can help to reduce anxiety about the procedure and provide more accurate results. Consider these important tips when you prepare for your next mammogram appointment:
Skip the deodorant that day. Particles in these products might show up on your mammogram and cause undue alarm or confusion.
Consider pain medication if you find that having a mammogram is uncomfortable.Taking an over the counter acetaminophen, such as Tylenol.
Wear a two-piece outfit. That way you’ll only have to remove your top and bra.
Leave any neck jewelry at home. Anything around the neck will interfere with obtaining clear x-ray images of your breasts.
