How to Prepare for Your Mammogram

Regular mammograms are more than just a screening, they're a powerful tool in the fight against breast cancer. Early detection can save lives!

Time for your mammogram? Use these tips to prepare.
- Avoid having your mammogram while you’re on your period (or the week before it is due to come!)
- On the day of your screening, skip deodorant, powders, or perfumes. These can stain the X-ray.
- You’re going to need to be undressed from the waist up, so plan accordingly! You may want to opt for a top and bottoms (like pants, shorts, or a skirt) rather than a dress.
