Mammology

The Mammology Department at Caraps Medline provides prevention, diagnosis, and both conservative and surgical treatment of benign and malignant breast diseases.

It is important to note that most tumors found in the breast are not malignant. Therefore, prevention and early detection are possible through regular health check-ups and consultations with a mammologist.

When to see a mammologist:                   

• Young women should undergo preventive screening at least once a year.
• From the age of 35, it is recommended to have a check-up twice a year.
• If you notice any of the following symptoms, you should immediately consult a mammologist to rule out breast disease or, if present, ensure timely diagnosis and treatment:
• A lump in the breast
• Nipple discharge of any color (especially bloody)
• Any change in the shape or size of the nipple-areolar complex
• Any change in the breast’s shape
• Any change in the skin of the breast
• Enlarged lymph nodes in the armpit
