Mammograms can detect breast cancer early, when it is most treatable. This x-ray is a simple step you can take, even if there is no family history! <strong>75%<\/strong> of the women diagnosed with breast cancer have no family history and are not considered high risk.\u00a0 Mammograms are recommended once every two years for women between the ages of 50 and 75 \u2013 talk to your doctor today.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I\u2019m nervous. Do mammograms hurt? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It is perfectly normal to be nervous, especially if you\u2019ve never had a mammogram before. The unknown can be scary! That said, mammograms are nothing to fear.<\/p>\n<p>A mammogram is a brief procedure, taking only around 20 minutes. During your mammogram, you will undress from the waist up so that a technologist can use a special scanner to get a high-quality picture of your breast tissue. In order to get an accurate scan, your breast will have to be gently compressed between two plates. This compression may cause discomfort, but should not hurt. And, while the procedure takes 20 minutes, the actual breast compression only lasts a few seconds. If you do feel pain, let your technologist know so that they can help ensure your comfort.<\/p>\n<p>There are a few things you can do to prepare your mammogram.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>For premenopausal women, try to schedule your appointment 7 to 10 days after the end of your period, when your breasts are least tender. This will help reduce any discomfort during the procedure.<\/li>\n<li>Wear a two-piece outfit, as you will have to undress from the waist up.<\/li>\n<li>Do not wear deodorant, powder, or perfume as they may show up as white spots on the x-ray. If you are worried about this aspect, try to schedule your appointment in the morning so that you can wear put on deodorant\/perfume after the appointment is finished.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you still have specific concerns, speak to your physician.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/fammed\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/454\/2018\/10\/Breast-cancer-screening-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-10066\" src=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/fammed\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/454\/2018\/10\/Breast-cancer-screening-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"410\" height=\"410\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/fammed\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/454\/2018\/10\/Breast-cancer-screening-1.png 800w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/fammed\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/454\/2018\/10\/Breast-cancer-screening-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/fammed\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/454\/2018\/10\/Breast-cancer-screening-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/fammed\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/454\/2018\/10\/Breast-cancer-screening-1-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/fammed\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/454\/2018\/10\/Breast-cancer-screening-1-600x600.png 600w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/fammed\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/454\/2018\/10\/Breast-cancer-screening-1-512x512.png 512w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/fammed\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/454\/2018\/10\/Breast-cancer-screening-1-64x64.png 64w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 410px) 100vw, 410px\" \/><\/a>Where can I get one? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>UNC Health Care has a number of locations, including <strong>Chapel Hill<\/strong>, <strong>Hillsborough<\/strong>, <strong>Burlington, and Siler City<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do I make an appointment?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You can make a\u00a0 an appointment online at MyUNCchart.com or by calling one of these locations.<\/p>\n<p><em>Chapel Hill and Hillsborough:<\/em> (984)-974-1884<\/p>\n<p><em>Burlington:<\/em> (336)-524-9989<\/p>\n<p><em>Siler City:<\/em> (919)-799-4600<\/p>\n<p><strong>What about breast cancer prevention? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While timely detection is important for breast cancer early treatment, there are also lifestyle choices that effect your chances of breast cancer, and strategies you can take to stay healthy.<\/p>\n<p><em>Limit alcohol<\/em>: Excessive drinking can impact your health, mental and physical, in a number of ways.
