In your screening mammogram report, there will probably be a note about your breast density. It’ll be either A, B, C, or D.

A is least dense, D is most dense. The denser your breasts, the harder it is to spot a breast cancer if it is there. The ability to pick up a breast cancer if it is there in a screening mammogram is 90% for A or B, 84% for C, and 64% for D (slightly more than a coin toss).

Women with C and D breast densities have a 1.6x and 2.6x higher risk of developing breast cancer than the general population.

If you have high breast density, you should discuss the option of supplemental screening with your GP (Spoiler: There are currently no strict guidelines about this in Australia but they are in the works).

Just finished up with another one of our monthly morning MSI Australia no scalpel vasectomy lists at Hahndorf Medical Centre. We get guys who self refer and come over from all over the state - even from as far as Port Lincoln today!

We are very pleased to be able to offer men this service here. Patients can self-refer, have their procedure completed within 15 minutes, and drive themselves home (Plenty of parking out the back of the clinic 👍).

In addition to our monthly list here, I am also able to provide no scalpel vasectomies closer to metropolitan Adelaide at Burnside Day Surgery (Burnside Day Surgery), with additional option of IV sedation for patients who need/desire it.

I currently provide consultations at Hahndorf Medical Centre in the Adelaide Hills and Kings Park Clinic just outside the Adelaide CBD.

An update:

I have recently been registered as a proceduralist at the brand new Burnside Day Surgery facility, only 10 minutes from the Adelaide CBD. This means I will now be able to offer patients an option to have their no-scalpel vasectomy under intravenous sedation.

No-scalpel vasectomy under local anaesthesia still remains an option at Hahndorf Medical Centre but can also be provided at Burnside Day Surgery.

Additionally, privately insured patients who have already paid their excess for the year may have select skin cancer surgical procedures performed at Burnside Day Surgery at no cost.

For more info, I currently provide consultations at Kings Park Clinic in metropolitan Adelaide and Hahndorf Medical Centre in the Adelaide Hills. I provide skin checks, skin cancer diagnosis and management at these locations as well as at Skin Matters in Burnside.

It’s important to use sunscreen most of the time (definitely when the UV index is greater than 3 - you can check this on weather apps for example the Bureau of Meteorology app if you live in Australia).

It’s even more so important if you happen to be on any of the above medications which may increase the sensitivity of your skin to UV radiation.
