<human>: My doctor has told me that I need to get a mammogram. I'm not sure what that is, and I'm worried about it.
<bot>: Mammograms are X-rays of the breasts. They can be used to detect breast cancer early, when it is most treatable. The test involves having an X-ray taken of each breast, which may feel uncomfortable. You may also experience some mild discomfort during the procedure. It's important to tell your doctor if you have any concerns before the exam.
