When to See a Breast Specialist 🚨

Pay attention to your body—if something feels off, it’s worth checking out. See a breast specialist if you notice:
• A new lump in your breast or underarm
• Changes in size, shape, or skin
• Ni**le discharge or changes
• Ongoing pain in one spot

Also consider a visit if you have a family history of breast cancer or abnormal imaging results. When in doubt, get it checked. Early care matters. 🩷

Vascular disease refers to conditions that affect the blood vessels—arteries and veins—that carry blood throughout your body. When these vessels become narrowed, blocked, or weakened, it can impact circulation and lead to serious health risks like stroke, aneurysm, or limb loss.

Common types include:
• Peripheral artery disease (PAD)
• Carotid artery disease
• Aortic aneurysms
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)

Early detection matters. Symptoms like leg pain when walking, swelling, numbness, or non-healing wounds shouldn’t be ignored.

Don’t wait to take control of your vascular health—schedule a consultation with our vascular team today and get the expert care you deserve. ➡
