Comprehensive Breast Health Care at Gentle Birth Center OBGYN
At Gentle Birth Center OBGYN, breast exams and mammogram referrals are an essential part of our commitment to preventive women’s healthcare. Regular breast screenings help detect changes early—often before symptoms appear—providing reassurance, early intervention, and better long-term outcomes.
Clinical Breast Exams
A clinical breast exam is a hands-on evaluation performed by one of our experienced OB/GYN providers to check for lumps, skin changes, tenderness, or other abnormalities.
During your breast exam, we:
- Examine breast tissue and underarm lymph nodes
- Check for changes in size, shape, or texture
- Address breast pain, lumps, or concerns
- Educate you on breast awareness and self-exams
- These exams are typically performed during your annual well-woman visit but can also be scheduled separately if you have specific concerns.
Mammogram Referrals
A mammogram is an imaging test used to detect breast cancer at its earliest and most treatable stages. While mammograms are performed at specialized imaging centers, Gentle Birth Center OBGYN provides timely referrals and helps guide you through the process.
Mammogram referrals may be recommended based on:
- Age and screening guidelines
- Family or personal history of breast cancer
- Breast exam findings
- Increased risk factors
- We coordinate with trusted local imaging centers to ensure seamless care and clear communication of results.
When Should You Get Screened?
General breast health guidelines include:
- Ages 20–39: Clinical breast exams every 1–3 years
- Ages 40 and older: Annual mammograms and breast exams
- High-risk patients: Earlier or more frequent screening as recommended
Our providers tailor screening plans to your individual health history and risk profile.
Why Breast Screening Matters
Routine breast exams and mammograms help:
- Detect breast cancer early
- Identify benign breast conditions
- Reduce anxiety through proactive monitoring
- Support long-term breast and overall health
Early detection saves lives—and peace of mind matters.
