Public health programs in Spain recommend performing periodic mammograms every one to two years, primarily between the ages of 45\/50 and 69, although the guidelines can be adapted if there is a family history of risk factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-14\"><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>2.
