Breast Screening & Assessment
Breast screening is for women without symptoms who want peace of mind, or for those who have been called back after a routine mammogram. A specialist assessment provides thorough, expert evaluation.
What is it?
Breast screening involves a clinical examination and imaging (mammogram and/or ultrasound) to check for early signs of breast changes, even before symptoms appear.
Why might someone consider it?
- You want a private breast check-up for peace of mind
- You have been called back after a routine mammogram and want a specialist opinion
- You have a family history of breast cancer and want proactive screening
- You prefer to see a dedicated breast surgeon rather than a general clinic
What happens during your consultation?
Miss Dua will take a detailed history, including family history, and perform a clinical examination. Imaging is arranged as appropriate for your age and risk profile.
Treatment or surgical process
If screening is clear, you will be advised on when to return. If an area needs investigation, Miss Dua will arrange further assessment.
Recovery
Screening does not require recovery time.
Results
You will receive a clear explanation of your imaging and examination findings.
Risks and considerations
- Screening may identify an area that requires further investigation
- No screening test is 100% accurate, so regular self-examination is also important
Miss Dua's approach
Miss Dua combines screening with education, ensuring every patient leaves with the knowledge to perform reliable breast self-examination.
