It's crucial for all women to have the mammography exam. This screening tool is to detect early breast cancer in women who experiencing no symptoms to detect and diagnose breast disease in women experiencing symptoms such as a lump, pain or nipple discharge.

I did mine this afternoon. There is no doubt it wasn't comfortable during the processed. As the pressure apply on my breast as it was squeezed by the compression paddle. I did scream 'Ouch!' twice! But hey I would rather suffer this small pain rather than be sorry.
