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.
