While scientists still don’t agree with researchers whether
it is safe for women to get regular mammograms, research has found that consulting
with a doctor on an individual basis is best because you can then figure out if
you need to or not depending on your risk factors. These risk factors include
family history, age, weight, whether you’ve given birth or not, and your
drinking and smoking habits. The risks of getting a mammogram include false
positive that lead to testing and unnecessary treatment, and the dose of
radiation itself that is used for the testing.
