Step 1 : Make an appointment
Make an appointment with the centre of your choice. Try to schedule your appointment one week after your menstruation ends.
If you no longer have periods, choose a date that is convenient for you.
Step 2: Preparing for a mammogram screening
On the day of your appointment, do not apply talcum powder or body lotion on your chest as this may be seen on the mammgoram
Please wear a two-piece outfit on your appointment day.
To minimise discomfort experienced during mammogram, you can consider taking 2 tablets of painkiller (paracetamol) before the procedure
Step 3: Attend your mammogram screening
During the process, a female radiographer will place the breast between two flat plates and compress. The compression takes less than 2 minutes. This is performed on one breast at a time.
Some discomfort is to be expected as the breast needs to be compressed to take a clear X-ray. The entire screening process will take about 20 minutes.
(Please ensure that you have filled up a consent form at the centre to be entitled to the funding assistance)
Step 4: Results
After about a month, you will receive your results either by post or at a consultation with the doctor (depending on the screening centre).
Step 5: Follow-up
If your results are normal, do remember to go for a mammogram screening
You are advised to stay with the same service provider.
If your results require further investigation, stay calm. 90% of women have normal results following further tests.
Until your next mammogram screening, remember to do your monthly Breast Self Examination and screen for Colorectal Cancer and Cervical Cancer
