Yes ma’am, you no longer have to
wait and worry.
Women throughout the region are saying Yes ma’am to a mammogram at Southeast Health. They love that they don’t have to sit at home waiting for answers—in most cases they get their results on the same day with MyChart. And they really love that our 3D mammogram is less painful and catches problems earlier than a regular mammogram.
So, don’t wait! Schedule your mammogram today.
3D Mammography is
now available.
Technically, it’s called tomosynthesis, but you can call it 3D mammography, a high-tech way to give your doctor an even better view of your whole breast, making it possible to catch problems even earlier — oftentimes before you notice any symptoms. And it’s available at Southeast Health.
What does a breast lump feel like?
When should you get a mammogram? Right now. Our 3D mammograms can catch
lumps before you can feel them. But if you think you do feel a lump in your breast,
here are things to know:
• Breast lumps can feel different. Is it painless, easy to move, smooth and
rounded? It could be a fibrodenoma—a benign tumor that doesn’t increase
your risk of cancer.
• Is it smooth and firm? It could be a breast cyst, which often doesn’t
need treatment.
• Is it painful and swollen, especially if the skin is red or you have a fever? It
could be a breast abscess (a collection of pus) or mastitis (inflamed beast tissue).
Yes ma’am, you can expect results with Southeast Health.
After you’ve completed your screening mammogram, we’ll notify you as soon as your results are available with MyChart. If our doctor wants to take a second look, a team member will call you personally and schedule a diagnostic mammogram.
