🎀 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Breast health is an important part of your overall health.
Being breast aware means knowing what is normal for you and paying attention to any new or unusual changes, including:
• a new lump or area of thickening
• a change in the size or shape of the breast
• changes to the skin, such as dimpling or puckering
• changes to the ni**le
• unusual or bloody ni**le discharge
• persistent or unusual breast pain
If you notice a new or concerning breast change, it is important to have it assessed by a doctor.
GPs consulting at St Kilda Road Medical Centre can provide breast health consultations, including assessment of breast symptoms, discussion of individual risk and screening history, and referral for appropriate investigations or specialist review where clinically indicated.
For people without breast symptoms, regular breast screening may also form part of preventive healthcare, depending on age and individual circumstances.
If you have noticed a breast change, have questions about your breast cancer risk, or would like to discuss breast screening, you can book an appointment with a GP consulting at St Kilda Road Medical Centre.
