A mammogram is a routine test to examine the breast for any abnormalities. It can be slightly uncomfortable, basically they xray your breast in simple terms. Your doctor can tell you when you should start receiving mammograms yearly. If you have a family history of breast cancer, you should start a yearly exam in your 20's. Also, as prevelant as breast cancer has been recently, women are getting it at earlier ages. Typically around your late 30's early 40's is when they recommend to start the yearly mammogram exam
