Consultation
Covered by national health insurance. For women with symptoms such as lumps, pain and nipple discharge or abnormal findings in breast screening.
We offer you a consultation with the breast specialist,
-if you have noticed any symptoms: breast lumps and pain, nipple discharge/inversion, breast skin dimpling, redness and rash, breast size changes.
-if abnormal finding is found in breast screening.
In the Clinic, experienced breast surgeon will assess the results of mammogram and ultrasound and you will know the results on the same day. Additional diagnostic tests such as biopsies (taking a small sample of tissue), if warranted, can be done.
Generally, changes in you breast are not always cancer. We will identify if there is a problem. We want our clients to have less fear and quick/accurate diagnosis. If the diagnosis is done earlier, the more effective treatment will be available.
