A good explanation of blood clot risks…INP clinicians are very mindful of these risks when they prescribe hormones to patients.

The death of a teenager has prompted a Coroner to remind people taking the pill to be aware of blood clot warning signs. How big is that risk?

Did you know October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month?

It's not only a time to turn products and profiles pink. It's a time to rally around everyone at every stage, whether they’re just learning about breast health, have been recently diagnosed and are undergoing treatment, or have many years of survivorship behind them.

In New Zealand about 1 in 10 women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime. The risk of breast cancer increases with age. Three quarters of women who get breast cancer are over 50 years of age. Most women who develop breast cancer have no close relatives with the disease.

What can I do? Know what your breasts are like normally; when washing or dressing. This is more important after the age of 40.

Feel your breasts and look at them in the mirror. Get to know how your breasts change at different times of the month and also as you grow older. If you do feel something in one breast which seems different than usual, check your other breast. If you can feel the same thing in both breasts it is probably normal. If you aren’t sure, contact us at INP or see your doctor.
