Mammogram – What Indian Women Must Know

A mammogram is a low-dose X-ray of the breast that helps detect breast cancer early—when it’s easiest to treat. This guide gives you simple, practical steps for your next mammogram.

What Is a Mammogram?

A mammogram uses a special breast X-ray machine to find tiny breast changes before you can feel them. It helps save lives through early detection.

Where to Get It?

• Government hospitals with women-friendly radiology units
• Private diagnostic centres (NABL accredited preferred)
• Oncology hospitals (Tata, Apollo, Fortis, HCG)
• Mobile breast screening vans (available in many Indian cities)

When Should You Schedule?

• Women 40–74 years: Every 1–2 years
• Younger women: Only if doctor recommends (family history / lump / symptoms)
• Avoid the week before your period—breasts are more tender

What (and What Not) to Wear?

• Wear a two-piece outfit (top + bottom)
• Avoid deodorant, perfume, powder & lotion on test day
• Remove jewellery around neck/chest

What to Expect During the Test?

The breast is gently compressed for a few seconds to get clear images. It may feel slightly uncomfortable but not harmful. The entire test takes 10–15 minutes.

Getting the Results

• Digital report ready in 24–48 hours
• Images + radiologist summary
• If anything looks suspicious, doctor may advise ultrasound or biopsy
