Any advice/tips to make a first mammogram less scary or painful?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Relax: Have the mammogram right after menstrual period when the breasts are less swollen. Relax is best advice as the picture is taken very fast. Talk with the mammography technician throughout procedure.
