🎀 October Is Breast Cancer Awareness Month: Your Health Deserves Attention
When was the last time you checked in on your breast health?
Breast Cancer Awareness Month is an important reminder that early detection can make a difference. Taking a proactive approach to your health starts with knowing your body and staying current with recommended screenings.
Here are 4 ways to prioritize your breast health:
💕Know what's normal for you. Pay attention to changes in your breasts, including new lumps, skin changes, or unusual ni**le discharge.
💕Stay current with mammograms. Most women should begin routine mammogram screening at age 40. Your doctor can help determine the right schedule based on your personal risk factors.
💕Know your family history. A family history of breast or ovarian cancer may affect your screening recommendations.
💕Schedule your well-woman exam. Regular OB/GYN visits are an opportunity to discuss breast health, preventive screenings, and any concerns.
