We conduct a thorough examination of your breasts to check for any lumps or irregularities. Mammograms are recommended, particularly for those over 40 or at higher risk, to detect unseen abnormalities. Ultrasounds are utilized to distinguish between solid and fluid-filled lumps, providing more clarity. In cases where a lump is concerning, we perform a biopsy to determine its nature. For a comprehensive analysis, especially in dense breast tissues or complex cases, a breast MRI may be suggested. Hormonal assessment tests are conducted if hormonal imbalances are suspected to be influencing your breast health.

A comprehensive discussion about your symptoms and medical history starts your visit, addressing any concerns you might have. A detailed physical examination of your breasts is conducted to assess for lumps, tenderness, or other abnormalities. Diagnostic tests like mammograms or ultrasounds are recommended to get a clearer picture of your breast health. Additional tests such as biopsies may be performed to further investigate any suspicious findings. Our team ensures you understand each step of the process, providing support and information throughout your visit.

We encourage regular self-exams to help you stay familiar with your breast’s normal texture and appearance, and to report any changes promptly. Maintaining a balanced diet, rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, supports overall breast health. We recommend staying well-hydrated, which is particularly beneficial for managing cysts. Wearing well-fitting, supportive bras can reduce discomfort, especially if you are experiencing breast pain. Engaging in stress-reducing activities, like yoga or meditation, can positively impact your breast health.

We offer warm or cold compresses to ease discomfort from conditions like cysts or mastitis. Over-the-counter pain relievers are available to help manage pain associated with various breast conditions. For infections such as mastitis, we prescribe antibiotics to clear the infection effectively. If a cyst is large or particularly painful, we may perform a drainage procedure to relieve symptoms. Hormonal therapy options are available for managing symptoms related to hormonal fluctuations. We advise on dietary modifications and stress management techniques to help reduce breast pain. In rare cases, we might recommend surgical removal of fibroadenomas or persistent cysts. Regular follow-up appointments are crucial for monitoring benign conditions and ensuring they remain stable.
