My doctor says that I need to have a mammogram. What should I expect?

You can expect a mammogram to involve having an X-ray of your breasts. The mammogram will be done by a radiologist, who is a medical professional trained in interpreting X-rays. During the mammogram, you may feel some discomfort or mild pain from the compression of the breast tissue. After the mammogram is completed, you may be given a copy of the results and asked to return for additional tests if needed.
