It also depends on the patient’s menstrual cycle. It is better to perform a mammogram in the last days of menstruation or a week after it ends, because at this time the breast tissue will be less sensitive to pain.

In this center, we have the most equipped and up-to-date Hologic mammography machine and by using special pads that create less pressure on the patient’s breast, we can produce the best mammography image with the least amount of pain on the patient’s breast.
