Breast Care

Breast Care Self Examinations

Self examinations help women detect changes in their breast tissue before potential problems arise. While everyone should be doing them, self exams are increasingly more important for women who:

  • Are currently pregnant
  • Were pregnant & are now breastfeeding
  • After menopause
  • Have breast implants

Common Signs of Problems

  • Lumps
  • Skin irritation
  • Discharge
  • Unusual swelling
  • Retraction of the nipples
  • Pain and discomfort

It is important to speak to one of our doctors right away if you find that any of these signs are present during a self examination.

Mammograms For Breast Care

It is recommended that women over the age of 40 should schedule a mammogram every one to two years. This should be done in addition to monthly self examinations.
