I'm 39 with dense breast tissues and have had many mammograms thanks to breast cancer and have had an IUD inserted, and the IUD was waaaaaaaay worse.

It's primarily mentally uncomfortable in the way a pap smear can be mentally comfortable with some mild pressure when the plates squish your boobs, but I assure you, the mammograms are not a big deal. I hate how people make it sound like they are.
