October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month: Schedule Your Mammogram Today
Breast cancer affects 1 in 8 women in their lifetime, making early detection through mammograms critical. At Southern Crescent Women’s Healthcare, our compassionate OBGYN team in Atlanta is dedicated to empowering women’s health through education and expert care.
Why Screen with Mammograms?
A mammogram is an X-ray that helps detect breast cancer early, even in areas like the underarm where tumors can sometimes appear. Regular screening significantly lowers breast cancer mortality by catching signs before symptoms develop.
Who Should Get a Mammogram?
Women aged 45 to 54 are encouraged to have annual mammograms, while those 55 and older can discuss personalized screening plans with their OBGYN. Starting mammograms earlier may be advised based on family or personal health history.
