When to See a Doctor for Breast Symptoms

See your primary care provider or gynecologist if you notice breast symptoms, such as:

  • Breast pain, redness or swelling
  • Changes in the size or shape of your breast
  • Lump, hard knot or mass in your breast or underarm
  • Nipple changes like puckering, indenting or dimpling 
  • Nipple discharge, rash or sores

Breast Care for Men

If you’re a male experiencing breast swelling or a lump, your doctor may recommend a diagnostic mammogram or another breast imaging test. You’ll find compassionate AnMed breast imaging services at convenient locations near you.

AnMed’s Breast Imaging Services

Find comprehensive care and breast imaging tests at AnMed when you need them. Depending on your symptoms, your doctor may recommend one or more of the following tests to diagnose a breast condition:

  • Breast biopsy

  • Breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

  • Breast ultrasound

  • Mammography

Why Are Routine Breast Screenings Important?

Routine breast screenings can detect breast cancer before you experience symptoms. That’s important because early detection and treatment improves long-term outcomes—and saves lives. Mammography is the most common screening test, but your doctor may also recommend other imaging exams if you’re at high risk of breast cancer.

Mammogram Screening Guidelines

Depending on your age, genetics and health history, you may need a mammogram every one to two years. Your doctor can recommend how often you should get a mammogram. 

Latest 3D Mammography Technology

Advanced 3D mammography is available at AnMed breast imaging centers. Although 3D is becoming more common, it’s not available everywhere. This technology takes clearer pictures of your breast tissue than standard imaging. Ask for 3D mammography for your next screening, especially if a previous mammogram revealed you have dense breasts.

Elevated Breast Care Standards

Osteoporosis Screenings

If your doctor recommends bone density testing, AnMed women’s imaging centers also provide this service. The test uses a specialized X-ray to assess your bone density and identify potential signs of weakened bones or osteoporosis. Ask about scheduling a same-day appointment for your bone density test and mammogram.
