If you plan to visit UI Health for a mammogram, please remember:
- Avoid lotions, perfumes, or deodorant on your chest area.
- You can take over-the-counter pain medication 30 to 45 minutes before your appointment to manage any mammogram-related pain.
- Avoid caffeinated beverage two to three days before your mammogram, as caffeine makes breast sensitive.
Walk-in mammograms are for yearly screening mammograms only. If you have a wide-ranging breast health history that may include:
- Dense breast tissue
- Fibrocystic breasts (breast cysts)
- Previous abnormal mammogram
- Experiencing pain, lumps, or discomfort in your breasts
Please make an appointment with a provider. You can also call one of our navigators for assistance.
