Prioritizing Comprehensive Breast Care
Breast health is a fundamental aspect of women’s wellness, encompassing preventive screenings, diagnostic evaluations, and personalized care for optimal breast health. At Navjeevan Hospital, we understand the importance of proactive breast health management and offer a range of services to support women in maintaining healthy breasts and detecting any abnormalities early.
The Importance of Breast Health:
- Early Detection of Breast Cancer: Regular breast health assessments, including breast exams and mammograms, play a crucial role in detecting breast cancer at an early stage when treatment is most effective. Early detection significantly improves survival rates and treatment outcomes for breast cancer patients.
- Risk Assessment and Prevention: Breast health services include risk assessment tools, genetic counseling, and preventive measures aimed at identifying women at higher risk for breast cancer and implementing strategies to reduce the risk, such as lifestyle modifications, hormonal therapies, and preventive surgeries (e.g., prophylactic mastectomy).
Comprehensive Breast Care: Beyond cancer detection, breast health services address a wide range of breast-related concerns, including benign breast conditions, breast pain, cysts, fibroadenomas, and nipple discharge, ensuring comprehensive care for all breast health needs.
Breast Health Services at Navjeevan Hospital:
- Clinical Breast Exams: Our healthcare providers perform thorough clinical breast exams as part of routine preventive care visits or in response to specific breast-related symptoms or concerns. These exams involve manual palpation of the breasts and lymph nodes to detect any abnormalities.
- Mammography: Mammograms are specialized X-ray exams of the breasts used for breast cancer screening and diagnosis. Navjeevan Hospital offers digital mammography with advanced imaging capabilities for high-quality, detailed breast imaging and early detection of abnormalities.
- Breast Ultrasound: In addition to mammograms, breast ultrasounds may be recommended for further evaluation of breast abnormalities, characterization of breast masses, assessment of cysts, and guidance for breast biopsies or interventions.
- Breast MRI: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the breasts is a powerful diagnostic tool used for assessing breast health in specific cases, such as high-risk individuals, dense breast tissue, or suspected breast cancer, providing detailed images for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
- Breast Cancer Risk Assessment: Our hospital offers comprehensive breast cancer risk assessment programs, including genetic counseling, BRCA gene testing, and personalized risk stratification to identify individuals at increased risk and develop tailored risk reduction strategies.
- Breast Biopsies and Pathology: If breast abnormalities are detected through screenings or clinical exams, our team performs minimally invasive breast biopsies (e.g., core needle biopsy, fine-needle aspiration) to obtain tissue samples for pathological analysis and accurate diagnosis.
- Breast Health Education: We prioritize patient education and empowerment, providing information on breast self-exams, breast awareness, risk factors for breast cancer, preventive measures, and lifestyle modifications to promote breast health and early detection.
