Breast Health Package for Women Over 40
Our Breast Health Center, which is a part of Yaşam Hospital Oncology Center, offers all the possibilities of technology to provide the best care to every woman.
What is Mammography?
Mammography is the low-dose X-ray imaging of the breast tissue to look for early signs of breast cancer before symptoms develop. It can also be used for due diligence when a new symptom (lump or focal pain) develops in the breast tissue.
When viewed on a mammogram, breast tissue appears white and opaque (nebula), while fatty tissue appears darker and translucent.
When Should a Mammogram Be Done?
Annual screening mammograms are recommended for all women from the age of 40. Women who do not have any breast-related signs or symptoms are also screened. If an abnormality is present or patients have a new symptom (a lump or focal pain), additional evaluation may be required. Further examination will reveal what these suspected abnormalities are.
What Percent of Women Who Have Had Mammography Have Risky Situations?
Potential abnormalities are found in 6 to 8 percent of women who get mammograms. This group undergoes different additional evaluations, which may include breast physical examination, diagnostic mammography, breast ultrasound or needle biopsy.After these additional evaluations are completed, it becomes clear what the abnormalities found on the mammogram are.
What Does an Abnormality Look Like on a Mammogram?
The possible abnormality on a mammogram may be called a nodule, mass, lump, density or deterioration:
A mass (lump) with a smooth, well-defined border is usually benign.
Ultrasound is necessary to see and identify the inside of a mass. If the mass contains fluid, it is called a cyst.
A mass (lump) with irregular borders or a starburst appearance may be cancerous and a biopsy is usually recommended.
Microcalcifications (small calcium deposits) are another type of abnormality. They can be classified as benign, suspicious, or uncertain. Most microcalcifications are benign. Depending on how the microcalcifications appear in additional studies (magnification views), a biopsy may be recommended.
What is the Accuracy Rate of Mammography?
Diagnoses made by mammography are between 85 percent and 90 percent accurate. Mammograms can detect breast abnormalities before they are large enough to be felt. However, a palpable mass may not be seen on a mammogram. Any abnormality you feel while examining your breasts should be evaluated by your doctor.
What Should Be Considered Before Mammography?
You can follow your normal routine before the mammogram. You can take your medications and maintain your eating and drinking patterns. If you are breastfeeding, pregnant or think you may be pregnant, you should tell your doctor as your mammogram may need to be postponed.
What Should I Pay Attention to When Coming to My Mammography Appointment?
The technician will ask you to remove one breast from your bib at a time and place it on the chest support plate. The image of the breast is taken by clamping it between two plates. In the meantime, pressure is applied to the breast, preventing the breast from moving. This pressure spreads the breast tissue, allowing the radiologist to see the tissue better. Also, the least amount of radiation is used when the breast is compressed as finely as possible.
You may feel some discomfort during 3-5 seconds of pressure. If you cannot tolerate the pressure, please let the technician know. Pressure can be more bothersome at some times in a woman’s menstrual cycle. To minimize discomfort, we recommend scheduling your appointment seven to 10 days after the start of your period.

How Does the Process Proceed After Mammography?
There may be temporary skin discoloration and/or mild pain in the chest due to compression. Most women will be able to resume their normal activities soon after their mammogram. Your results will be available within a few days after the test. After getting the results, your doctor will explain everything to you.
How Often Should You Have a Mammogram?
Regular mammograms every year, starting at the age of 40, will enable you to recognize potential risks early.
What Does the Breast Health Package Consist of?
Breast health package consists of General Surgery Examination and Mammography | Today, we cannot talk about that only women prefer face lift operations, which are commonly performed for aesthetic concerns. Face lift procedures, which are also very popular among men of our age, are mostly preferred to recover skin loosening and sagging on the face after a certain age. It is not quite right to talk about an age restriction for facelift procedures, because it is sufficient for the person to feel his own face aged and to detect that the face has lost its dynamics as a result of the examination. |

What is neural therapy?
Neural therapy is a regulation treatment performed by administering local anesthetics to certain parts of the body.
What is the neural therapy mechanism of action?
Neural therapy application is based on the regulation of our spontaneous (autonomous) nervous system. The drug used is not cortisone. It is one of the drugs called local anesthetics, which dentists also use to numb the teeth. These drugs are used by diluting them with liquids called physiological saline.
Who is neural therapy applied to?
Neural therapy can be applied to patients of all ages. Diseases such as blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease do not prevent treatment. Care should be taken in deep injections in patients who only use blood thinners.
What ailments is neural therapy good for?
- - Headaches
- - Regional Musculoskeletal Pain
- - Fibromyalgia Syndrome
- - Chronic Pelvic Pain
- - Waist-Neck-Back Pain And Hernias
- - Spinal Calcifications
- - Chronic İnflammations
- - Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- - Chronic Pain İn The Elbows
- - Knee And Shoulder Pain
- - Tendinitis
- - Sports İnjuries
are the main ailments that can benefit from the application.
Who is neural therapy not applied to?
Neural therapy is not applied in patients with known local anesthetic allergies, cancer patients and pregnant women.
Is neural therapy application painful?
The most commonly used technique for neural therapy is intradermal and subcutaneous applications with mesotherapy needles. Slight pain may be felt during the application, but since the drug given is a local anesthetic, the pain disappears immediately. Persistent and long-term unbearable pain does not occur.
How many sessions of neural therapy are done?
Although it varies according to the patient, treatment is started once or twice a week in the beginning. Follow-up applications are usually done once a week. It is necessary to put at least 48-72 hours between sessions. The total session is related to the patient’s condition. Usually, 6 sessions are sufficient.
Doctor’s Note:
Neural therapy, which has a wide area of use and does not have any serious side effects, is a safe form of treatment for the mentioned diseases that can be answered in a short time. | With hair mesotherapy, vitamines and minerals which immediately affect hair growth, are directly applied to the hair root. Hair mesotherapy is used for all kinds of
hair loss(man-type hair loss, hormonal hair loss, anemia etc.). Asthe therapy is made with very thin needles, it doesn’t hurt very much. Results start to be visible after the 3rd session. After a total of 8-10 sessions, a recall session should be applied after 3-4 months. |
