What to expect at your Mammogram

A mammogram takes only a few minutes. You will feel brief pressure, not lasting pain, while the machine takes clear images of the breast tissue. Understanding the difference between screening and diagnostic mammograms matters here. A screening mammogram is what most women get routinely, while a diagnostic mammogram is ordered when a specific area needs closer evaluation.

Results usually arrive within a week or two. If you want to know more about timing, read our post on how long a mammogram takes. Not sure about screening v. diagnostic mammogram for your situation? Our Free Diagnostic Testing page covers what happens when a screening leads to a need for further imaging.

Between screenings, a monthly breast self-exam helps you learn what is normal for your body so you notice a change early. Our Breast Self-Exam page walks through exactly how to check at home. Not sure how often to get screened or when you should start getting mammograms? See our How Often page for clear guidelines by age and risk level.

When can you stop getting mammograms? Most guidelines support continued screening through your 70s for women in good health.
