Wondering what to expect?
That's completely okay. Here's what it's actually like.
Will it hurt?
Mammograms can be uncomfortable because the breast is briefly compressed between two plates. It usually only lasts a few seconds. Most people describe it as pressure rather than pain.
What should I wear?
For a mammogram, comfort is key. A two-piece outfit such as a shirt paired with pants or shorts. A comfortable top that’s easy to take off and put back on.
What happens if something is found?
If your mammogram shows an area that needs further evaluation, you may be called back for additional imaging. This could include additional mammogram views or an ultrasound so the radiologist can take a closer look. In some cases, you may be asked to return for a short-term follow-up. For example, the radiologist may recommend another mammogram in six months to monitor an area and ensure there have been no changes. Being called back after a mammogram is relatively common and does not necessarily mean something serious has been found. Our dedicated wellness navigators are here to support you throughout the entire process, answer your questions, and help coordinate any recommended next steps.
Do I need insurance, an ID, or a doctor?
You do not need insurance to receive a mammogram. DAP Health offers programs that may help cover the cost of your screening, including Every Woman Counts, a California program that provides free breast and cervical cancer screening services to eligible individuals who meet income requirements. A valid photo ID is required to confirm your identity and ensure we have accurate information for your appointment. Acceptable forms of identification include a driver’s license, passport, or REAL ID. If you are 40 years of age or older and are not experiencing any breast symptoms, a doctor’s order is not required for a screening mammogram. However, if the mammogram shows an abnormal finding that requires additional evaluation, a health care provider will be notified, and a doctor’s order may be needed for any follow-up diagnostic imaging.
What if I don’t speak English?
That’s perfectly fine. We offer interpreter services for patients who may not speak English. Please let us know your preferred language, and we will ensure the necessary arrangements are made to support you during your appointment.
