Search for 'painless mammogram' could end in this Makati hospital.
(From Philippine Daily Inquirer)
Byline: Tessa R. Salazar
WOMEN usually dread mammograms. The indescribable pain during this procedure has been listed as one of the main barriers to women getting their necessary breast examinations.
It is also said that women with smaller breasts find the procedure more painful because the breast tissues have to be "stressed" so the machine could properly scan them.
But the pain during mammography could be more fiction than fact. A report in the April 14 issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine said almost three-quarters of women who underwent a mammogram reported that the pain was relatively mild, falling at 4 or less on a scale of zero to 10, with 10 being the "worst pain you have ever felt."
Regardless of what women think of pain and mammogram, a Makati hospital believes it has found a way to get around the pain, and still conduct a breast exam as effectively as a regular mammogram.
