If you have any changes in your breasts, please see the list below:

• If you have a change in your breast which is not normal for you, do not wait for your breast screening mammogram. Make an appointment with your GP.
• If you are outside the screening age of 50-71 and are experiencing symptoms, such as a lump, pain, or discharge from the nipple, contact your GP.
• Pain in the breast without any other symptom is rarely a sign of breast cancer. This understanding breast pain video explains the causes of breast pain and why it is not considered to be a sign of more serious disease.

Women aged from 50 to 71 are invited for breast cancer screening every three years. Screening uses an x-ray to find breast cancer early, when it’s easier to treat. 1 in 7 women in the UK will develop breast cancer. Having regular screening mammograms is one of the best things you can do to detect breast cancer early. The earlier breast cancer is found the better the chance of successful treatment.
