For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I totally agree with puddicat, You're right that it can be no problem for some women, and for others it is very uncomfortable, I found it ok the first twice, the last time it was painful, but hey it's done now, and I'm fine, it was worth it!! These tests can, and do save lives! don't be put off, go along and grit your teeth like me!!!
Shanx, it sometimes hurts because women have a lot of nerve endings in the breast region, so they're a sensitive area anyway, and having them compressed doesn't help! Sensible to go though. My best friend casually went along for a mammogram 18 months ago. Good job she did. They found something, and she ended up having a breast reduction and her lymph nodes taken out.
