What is mammography screening?
Screening mammography uses low-dose X-rays to examine breast tissue in people without symptoms.
Symptoms, causes and assessment
Screening can detect some cancers early but also has false alarms, follow-up testing and overdiagnosis concerns. Starting age and interval depend on individual risk and current national guidance.
Care and when to seek help
A new lump, bloody nipple discharge or marked skin change needs diagnostic assessment without waiting for screening. Interpret results alongside previous images and clinical findings.
