What should I pay attention to before mammography?

Mammography is a special X-ray imaging, which can find out whether there is abnormality in breast tissue after passing through the breast. There is generally no need to make special preparation before mammography, but the following matters should be paid attention to so as not to affect the examination effect.

1. There should be no powdery substances such as perfume powder, talcum powder and deodorant on the skin of the irradiated area, because these powders will leave tiny calcifications on the image and interfere with the image results.

2. For women with periodic breast pain and discomfort, it is best to arrange an examination within 3 to 5 days after menstruation.

3, breast-feeding women should not do this check, if you need to check, it is best to stop breastfeeding, wait until the milk secretion is reduced, and then check with a breast pump.

4. If it is a routine breast examination after breastfeeding, it should be arranged after stopping breastfeeding for half a year.

5. It is best to wear clothes with open chest for inspection on the day of inspection.

In addition, patients with breast augmentation may still receive X-ray photography. Before the inspection, the operator should be informed of the situation. It is not appropriate to squeeze the breast directly during the operation, and the prosthesis should be avoided as far as possible, such as pushing it to the side of the pectoral muscle, so that the breast image is relatively less disturbed.
