| What are the services? |
Breast Exam
- A doctor or nurse examines your breasts by touch
Mammogram
- X-ray pictures of the inside of your breast (breast tissue) that
can show even the smallest changes that might need attention.
2 pictures of each breast: one from the top and one from the
side.
The breast is placed between plastic plates and flattened slightly
to get a clear picture.
The amount of radiation produced is extremely low.
Beginning at age 40, women should have a mammogram every year. |
Pelvic Exam - A
doctor or nurse examines the inside of your uterus (womb) and ovaries by
touch, making sure any changes are noted
Pap Test - This
simple procedure uses a special swab to gently touch your cervix (the
opening of your womb), collecting a "sample" which is sent to a lab.
The lab reports the results to your doctor |
