Debbie, having a ductogram is a fairly simple procedure. You will lie on your back, the radiologist will massage your nipple to decide which duct the discharge is coming from. He will then insert a blunt end needle (doesn't hurt) into that duct and inject some contrast material. Then they will have you sit up and have a mammogram -only they won't compress as much (because they don't want the contrast to seep back out). The radiologist will then study your images for any defects in that duct.
