Are you concerned about relying on breast self-examination? Do you worry about the discomfort and xray exposure involved in mammograms?
Digital Infrared Breast Thermography is a sensitive, non-invasive method of effectively screening for early functional changes in breast tissue.
Major Benefits of Breast Thermography
- Timely: Problems can be found a full five to eight years before abnormalities are seen with mammograms. Early detection provides the best outcome.
- Inclusive: Examines the whole chest, breasts and armpit areas.
- Good for All Ages and Stages: Puberty, pregnant, breastfeeding, pre-menopausal and post-menopausal years.
- Good for All Breast Types: Dense, pregnant, breastfeeding, fibrocystic, enhanced (implants) and women on oral hormone medication (BCP and HRT).
- Painless: No squeezing, no pressure, no touching by equipment or technician.
- Risk-free: No harmful xrays emitted so thermography can be done as often as needed to monitor breast health and to guide treatment.
- Risk indicator: Thermography results are a better indicator of future breast disease, and 10 times more significant than a family history of disease.
Breast Thermography Screenings are held twice a year at the Vancouver Centre for Homeopathy. Dr Lianne South provides follow-up care and expertise for ongoing breast health.
The next Screening will be on November 25, 2007. For information and bookings please call 1-866-242-5554.
