It’s important to be familiar with your breasts and be aware of these warning signs:
Changes in appearance
- Unexplained change in breast size or shape
- Dimples, swelling, or shrinking in one breast
- Asymmetry (one breast appearing larger than the other)
- Inverted nipple (turning inward)
- Scaly, red, or swollen skin on the breast, nipple, or areola, sometimes with pitting or ridges
Changes in sensation
- Persistent, localized breast pain or tenderness
- Lump or thickening in the breast or underarm
- Any unusual texture or change in breast tissue
Nipple discharge
- Any discharge when not pregnant or breastfeeding, especially if bloody or clear
If you notice any of these signs, contact your primary care doctor for an exam.
Early breast cancer can be hard to detect without regular screenings. Routine care includes annual mammograms, recommended for those 40 and older, and diagnostic mammograms after an abnormal result. We also serve patients with breast concerns due to anxiety, survivorship, family history, and other hereditary concerns.
Our team also offers comprehensive management for conditions such as breast cancer, breast pain, cysts, fibroadenomas, calcifications, nipple discharge, lumps, and tumors. For patients with phyllodes tumors, we provide tailored and targeted treatment plans. Whether you are dealing with benign issues or more serious concerns, you’ll find advanced treatment options delivered by an expert who cares.
