(HealthDay News) -- Before scheduling or showing up for a mammogram, you should be fully prepared to get the best results.
The National Women's Health Information Center offers these guidelines for what to do before a mammogram:
* When scheduling the appointment, plan to go about one week after your period. Your breasts will be less sore at this time.
* If you have breast implants, make sure you tell the facility about them when you schedule your appointment.
