A mammograph or mammography is a method of examining breasts for the detection of early breast cancer in women. Mammographs or mammography exams use a special type of imaging machine that is similar to an x-ray machine but less harmful. A mammograph or mammography can diagnose breast disease in women who are not even experiencing cancer symptoms. Changes in the breast can be detected by a mammograph or mammography up to two years before the cancer can be detected using other methods. Some women are especially encouraged to seek a mammograph or mammography exam, especially those who are 40 or older.

Doctors who use early detection imaging machines to find lumps or abnormal masses in breast tissue can often provide better health services for women. Getting routine exams can improve your general health, but getting a regular mammogram will provide early detection and prevention of abnormal masses that could develop into cancer. Once women reach a certain age, they should get routine exams from a doctor at a hospital or women’s health clinic that has imaging machines that use fluoroscans and ultrasound, as well as a lab that can determine the results of the mammograms to determine if the patient is healthy or if other procedures are called for. When you contact a breast cancer screening center, you should ask them if they have male or female doctors so that you can choose one that you are most comfortable with. Some women feel better getting their screenings from female doctors. You should also ask them if they have up to date medical machines that can provide accurate imaging. If you are in a high risk category, then you should ask the doctors how often you should have the prevention and detection procedure done to check for abnormal masses and lumps. If you do not have insurance, then you will want to make sure that the services are affordable for you. Ask them how much they charge for their services and write the number down so that you can compare the prices of several women’s health centers in your area and choose one that matches your budget.
