How to prepare for a breast examination?

If possible, schedule your breast examination between the 5th and 10th day of your menstrual cycle. Bring your previous findings and images so that we can compare whether any changes have occurred. Before the examination, DO NOT use deodorant, antiperspirant, powders, lotion, creams, or perfume on your breasts or armpits because if you need another examination such as mammography or magnetic resonance imaging, the metal particles in the mentioned products will be visible on the examination and may cause a diagnostic dilemma, but you will be informed of all more detailed instructions when scheduling the appointment.

It is also important to bring with you (if you have it) your medical history, i.e. findings and images related to your examination.
