Preparing for a screening

Preparing for a screening mammogram

  • If your breasts are sensitive, try to schedule the mammogram within ten days following the start of your menstrual period or when your breasts are less sensitive.
  • The day before and the day of the exam, do not apply any of the following: antiperspirant, deodorant, powder, cream or perfume.
  • Wear a two-piece outfit, since you’ll need to undress from the waist up.
  • Don’t wear jewelry around your neck.
  • Bring your invitation letter or medical prescription to your appointment.
