Preventive Screening

Preventive screening ensures women’s physical health, contributing to the protection and improvement of their reproductive and sexual well-being.

Why is Preventive Screening Important?

Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women; however, when detected early, cure rates exceed 90%. Preventive screening helps identify even small, non-palpable lesions, allowing for immediate intervention.

Breast preventive screening is the most important step for early detection and effective management of potential conditions. With proper monitoring, every woman can protect her health and prevent serious issues at an early stage.

When Should It Be Done?

  • From the age of 20, breast self-examination is recommended.
  • After the age of 40, regular mammography is considered essential.
  • In women with a family history, screening should begin earlier and be conducted more frequently.

Examinations Included in Preventive Screening

  • Clinical breast examination by a specialized physician.
  • Digital mammography.
  • Breast ultrasound, when deemed necessary.
  • Genetic Testing (in cases of family history).
