Women’s health and breast cancer awareness in Atlanta and Alpharetta, GA

Picture
Women’s health encompasses many things for Atlanta and Alpharetta, GA women. But, in October, we focus on breast cancer. This disease impacts an estimated one out of every eight women, which is part of the reason raising awareness about how to spot it and diagnose it, is so important. We’ll cover important information you should know about this important women’s health topic.
 
Signs of breast cancer
There are many signs to watch for when it comes to this women’s health issue. Signs of breast cancer can include:
  • A lump in the breast or armpit (underarm)
  • Newly inverted nipples
  • Changes in the size or shape of the breast
  • Dimpling of the skin of the breast
  • Flaking or redness around the nipple
  • Unusual nipple discharge, including blood
 
Risk factors
Though we don’t know for sure what causes breast cancer in some people, there are factors that can increase your risk of developing this women’s health issue. The two biggest risk factors are being a woman, as women get breast cancer more than men, and getting older.
 
Other risk factors include a family history of breast cancer or having dense breasts. Being overweight, inactive, and even your reproductive history can all impact your risk. Be sure to be honest with your women’s health professional about your family history, so they know what they need to watch for.

​Atlanta and Alpharetta, GA women should contact their women’s health provider if they notice a change in their breasts, a lump, or have any other concern. It is better to get it checked than to ignore it. Contact Georgia OBGYN with any questions you have or to schedule an appointment.
