“I had a normal mammogram last year. So I’m fine.”
A normal result is reassuring.
But breast imaging is not a once-off event.

Breast tissue changes.
The power of screening lies in comparison year after year, image against image; tracking any subtle changes.

If it has been more than 12 months, this is your reminder.

Read this before your mammogram.

Most anxiety about mammograms comes from not knowing what to expect.

So here it is.
• It takes about 15–20 minutes.
• Compression lasts seconds, not minutes.
• You can breathe normally.
• Having your period is not a problem.
• Deodorant on the day is not ideal.

Save this for your next appointment.
If it’s been more than a year, it’s time.

Menopause changes more than your mood.

Around menopause, two things quietly happen in your body:
- Breast tissue becomes less dense
- Bone density declines faster

One improves mammogram visibility.
The other increases bone fracture risk.

Oestrogen affects both breast and bone tissue.
When it drops, your screening strategy may need to shift.

This is why breast and bone health cannot be separated.
If you are:
• In your late 40s
• Perimenopausal
• Postmenopausal

It may be time to review both your mammogram and bone density plan.

Menopause is not a decline.
It is a life shift.
Your screening plan should shift with it.

After all these years, one thing still amazes us - How beautifully different every woman’s breasts are.

Different patterns.
Different densities.
Different ways they change over time.

There is no single definition of “normal.”
There is only your normal.

And understanding your baseline - how your breasts look and feel over time - is one of the most powerful tools in breast wellness.

Because when you know your normal, you notice change sooner.
And early awareness changes everything.

It begins gradually. Silently.
Often years earlier, your bone density slowly declines, with no pain or warning.
Then one unexpected fracture changes everything.

By the time a bone breaks, the condition has usually been present for far longer than you realise.

Early detection changes that story.

Bone health is lifelong. It deserves awareness, proactive screening, and informed care long before symptoms appear.

Here’s what we want you to know:
There’s no such thing as a stupid breast question.
Only unasked ones.

If something feels different, confusing, or quietly worrying - that’s reason enough to ask.

What do breasts and bones have in common?
Hormones.

The same hormonal shifts that affect breast tissue also impact bone density - especially around menopause.
That’s why breast wellness and bone health aren’t separate conversations.
They’re part of the same life stage story.
Looking after one without the other is incomplete care.

We recommend annual mammograms from age 40 and DEXA bone scans from age 60 for women, and 65 for men (unless there are reason to start any screenings earlier)

Dense breasts don’t mean unhealthy breasts.

They mean:
• more glandular tissue
• less fatty tissue
• changes can be harder to see on mammograms alone

That’s why some women need additional imaging - not because something is wrong, but because their breasts are built differently.

Breast care should adapt to you, not the other way around.

An MRI is recommended based on your individual imaging findings and clinical context.

It is not because something was missed. It’s to ensure we are being as thorough and precise as possible, allowing for the most appropriate care and reassurance.

An MRI will:
- Show the full extent of an abnormality
- Detect additional areas of concern not visible on mammogram or ultrasound
- Improve assessment in dense breast tissue
- Support accurate treatment and any surgical planning

This is one of the ways we give you clarity, confidence and the highest standard of breast care.
