*Yes, mammograms are very safe.* Mammograms use a low dose of X-rays to take images of the breast tissue, and the radiation exposure is minimalwell within the safety limits set by medical guidelines. For most women, the benefits of detecting breast cancer early far outweigh any potential risks from the procedure. Its normal to feel a bit of discomfort during the mammogram because the breast is compressed to get a clear image, but this mild discomfort is very temporary (Less than 10 seconds usually) and doesnt cause any harm. Most patients report no pain at all. *N.
