If you're trans or non-binary
If you're a trans man, trans woman or are non-binary how you are invited will depend on the sex you are registered with at a GP:
- if you're registered as female with a GP you will automatically be invited for breast screening
- if you're registered as male with a GP you will not automatically be invited for breast screening
What to do if you were assigned female at birth
If you've not had top surgery (surgery to remove the breasts and have male chest reconstruction), you can have breast screening.
If you've had top surgery, you may still have some breast tissue. But it's unlikely you will be able to have a mammogram. Talk to a GP if you notice any changes in your chest tissue or symptoms of breast cancer.
If you think you should have breast screening, but you are not invited automatically, talk to your GP surgery or call the local breast screening service for more information.
What to do if you were assigned male at birth
If you've been taking feminising hormones for longer than 2 years, you can have breast screening. These hormones can increase your chance of getting breast cancer.
If you think you should have breast screening, but you are not invited automatically, talk to your GP surgery or call the local breast screening service to ask for an appointment.
