Breast Self-exams - a call to all.

Have you recently checked?

Public health and researchers are urging for us to do breast self-exams. For most breast exams are only link to women’s health, but this exam is also important for the male population. Yes breast cancer can affect men as well.

Recent media publications indicate that due to the pandemic certain services were cut back which has possibly increased in positive cases when it comes to breast tissue pathologies.

As a Naturopathic Doctor I always encourage my patients to be active participants in their health, and that includes doing breast self-exams. If you are unsure of how to conduct one, connect with your health care practitioner who can educate and provide guidance on this important subject. Your other option is always to book an appointment with your medical or naturopathic doctor who can assess you through physical examination or recommend diagnostic imaging like ultrasound or mammogram.
