Breast Cancer Exam
Checking for Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women, with early detection often leading to better treatment outcomes. Regular breast examinations, including self-exams, clinical exams, and mammograms, are key tools in identifying abnormalities before they become serious. Our clinical breast exams are designed to provide you with reassurance and early intervention if needed.
Our breast examination service includes:
- A comprehensive physical examination of the breast and underarm area
- Recommendations for mammography or ultrasound, if necessary.
- Personalized guidance based on your health history and risk factors
Our doctors can also teach you how to perform a breast exam on yourself at home for you to check on monthly. You can come back to the clinic if you find any concerns.
Symptoms to Watch Out For
While routine exams are key, certain symptoms may indicate a need for medical attention. Seek a breast examination if you notice any of the following:
- A new lump or hardened area
- Swelling, redness, or changes in breast size or shape
- Nipple discharge, especially if bloody
- Persistent pain in one spot
Who Should Get a Breast Examination?

- You have noticed changes in your breast, such as lumps, pain, or discharge
