For those in Singapore hesitant about mammograms due to concerns over pain and discomfort, or simply wanting to know what to expect, here’s what you need to know.
Many women in Singapore delay mammograms because of the discomfort associated with the procedure. Mammograms are a crucial tool for early breast cancer detection, but the compression necessary to capture accurate images can be uncomfortable or even painful. Fortunately, advances in technology are helping to make this process more comfortable.
Why Do Mammograms Feel Uncomfortable?
The discomfort from mammograms comes from the need to compress your breast between two plates. This compression is necessary for clear images, which helps doctors spot early signs of breast cancer. Unfortunately, it’s this step that causes the discomfort many women feel, leading some to delay their screenings. But early detection is so important—it can really make a difference.
How We’ve Made Mammograms More Comfortable
At DA MedSuites, we’ve thought a lot about how to make your mammogram as comfortable as possible. That’s why we’ve chosen the Fujifilm Amulet Innovality machine. It has specific features designed to reduce the discomfort you might expect:
- Rounded edges: These help reduce the sharp pressure that many women find uncomfortable.
- Larger base: This allows the compression to be spread more evenly, making it feel less intense.
- Clear imaging: And, of course, the machine still provides high-quality images, ensuring your screening is accurate without compromising on comfort.
While mammograms might never be entirely pain-free, these features can make a big difference, especially if you’ve been anxious about scheduling your appointment.
