Do I Need a Mammogram?

Breast cancer can develop without noticeable symptoms, which is why it’s important to be aware of any changes in your breasts. According to Breast Cancer Care, one in eight women in the UK are affected, with 81% of cases occurring in women over 50. Early detection is key, and a mammogram is a safe, effective way to identify breast cancer at its earliest stages.

Even if you're younger or have a family history of breast cancer, a mammogram can help detect any concerns, especially if you've noticed a lump.

At Midland Health, our experienced team will support you through every step. You’ll have a private consultation with a friendly GP who will review your health history, perform a full breast exam, and explain the screening process and results in detail.

Common Breast Cancer Symptoms to Watch For

  • A lump in your breast or underarm
  • Unexplained pain or tenderness in the breast
  • Changes in the size, shape, or appearance of the breast
  • Nipple discharge or skin changes

If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to book a mammogram as soon as possible.

Our Mammogram Screening Procedure

We provide a straightforward mammogram screening procedure, allowing you to get answers to your concerns as quickly as possible.

  • Preparing for Your Mammogram

    You’ll begin with a brief consultation to discuss your health history, potential risks, and any symptoms you might have. This ensures that your mammogram is tailored to your needs.

  • Mammogram Screening Procedure

    During the mammogram itself, a radiographer will guide you through positioning your breasts in the mammogram machine. The procedure involves taking X-ray images of your breast tissue, which may feel slightly uncomfortable, but it’s quick and essential for accurate results.

  • After Your Mammogram

    Once your mammogram is complete, you can return to your usual activities while waiting for your results. Our team will review the images and inform you of the outcome, typically within a few days.

Before Your Appointment

To ensure that your mammogram goes as smoothly as possible, we recommend the following:

  • No deodorants or lotions: Avoid using any underarm deodorants or creams on the day of your test as they may affect the results.
  • Wear a two-piece outfit: This will allow easy access to the area being tested without needing to remove all of your clothing.
  • Arrive early: Arriving a few minutes early allows time to complete any paperwork and relax before your test.

After Your Appointment

Once your results are available, we’ll contact you with the findings. If any follow-up tests are needed, we’ll ensure you understand the next steps and support you in arranging any further appointments.

Receiving Your Results 

On average, 96% of the women will receive normal results. However, you might need further tests to receive a definite answer. The rest of the 4% of the women will have to undergo further tests. There are cases when the mammogram test will have to be repeated due to technical reasons. This usually happens when you are not standing in the correct position, or you might have accidentally moved when the picture was taken. 

What Do ‘False’ Results Mean?

While mammograms are highly effective, no screening test is perfect. Here's what you should know:

  • False Positives: This means your mammogram showed something suspicious, but further testing reveals there is no cancer. This can be worrying, but it’s important to follow up for peace of mind.
  • False Negatives: This means a small cancer may be missed. If you notice any new changes or symptoms in your breasts after your mammogram, see your GP immediately.

Remember, a mammogram is just one step in breast cancer detection. Always stay vigilant and attend regular screenings.

What Do I Need to Know About Mammograms?

A mammogram scans the breast and surrounding tissues for any changes or potential growths. It is the best way to detect small cancers as early as possible so they can be effectively treated. The test uses X-rays that are able to find cancers that would be otherwise impossible to feel.

Breast cancer is a malignant tumour that is composed of a group of cancer cells which can infect the surrounding tissue and further spread to other parts of the body. As one of the most common types of cancer, breast cancer affects eight in ten women and around 12,000 women in the UK die of the disease every year.

Age is the primary factor that contributes to the development of cancer. This is why most of the women aged over 50 have breast cancer. Another contributing factor is the genetic mutations which are present in family groups. Some other causes that could cause breast cancer are linked to your lifestyle: being overweight, drinking excessive amounts of alcohol, and smoking can have an impact.

The test is recommended as routine for all women over the age of 40 who haven’t had breast symptoms or a mammogram in the last 12 months. The NHS Breast Screening Programme invites all women aged between 50 and 70 for screening every 3 years. However, if you have concerns about your breasts, get in touch with us today.

Mammographies cannot prevent breast cancer, but they are a way to detect it in time; they can help reduce your risk of requiring a mastectomy and can increase your chances of beating breast cancer due to early detection. The good news is that research has proven that surviving breast cancer is more possible nowadays, with 3 out of 4 women diagnosed living at least 10 years.

While mammograms are a safe and effective tool for detecting breast cancer, it’s important to be aware of potential risks:

  • Radiation Exposure: Mammograms use low-dose X-rays, which are minimal and well below levels considered harmful.
  • Discomfort: Some women may experience discomfort or slight pain during the mammogram, but it’s a brief process and is essential for an accurate diagnosis.
  • False Results: As discussed, false positives or negatives can occur, leading to additional testing or missed diagnoses.
