How to prepare for a mammogram?

Prior to screening:

• Book your mammogram appointment at least one week after your menstrual period to avoid the period of increased breast sensitivity and tenderness that happens right before and during a menstrual period.

On the day of screening:

• Wear a two-piece outfit as you will be required to undress from the waist up.
• Avoid using any perfume, deodorant, powder or ointment on your underarms or breasts.
