Our Services. Complete consultation, diagnosis and treatment for:
Breast Cancer
Screening for breast cancer in women with no breast symptoms currently consists of regular mammography.
Alternatively, you may find a breast lump, skin dimpling, nipple indrawing or nipple discharge in which you will be examined by a breast specialist.
Breast Pain
Breast pain is extremely common, and most women experience it at some time in their life.
Sometimes women worry that sore breasts may be one of the early symptoms of breast cancer.
Breast Lumps
It can be frightening finding a breast lump, but it is important to remember than nine out of 10 breast lumps are benign (not cancer).
They are not usually signs of breast cancer, but because some lumps are cancerous, you should always visit a doctor if you find one.
Family History
Family history of breast cancer is one of the most significant risk factors associated to your risk assessment.
Physicians will exam for gene abnormalities and specific gene features which you are not guaranteed to carry.
Breast Reconstruction
After a mastectomy many women choose to have breast reconstructive surgery, using either implants or their own tissue to recreate the appearance of a normal breast.
Your surgeon will advise which option is best for you.
Breast Infection
Breast infection, or mastitis, can occur at any age, but is most common in breastfeeding women.
Early symptoms of mastitis include breast pain, skin redness (often shaped like a wedge).
