How do I perform a breast self-exam, and how often should I do it?

The goal of a breast self-exam is breast self-awareness—knowing what's normal for your body. Perform a self-exam monthly to recognize any changes like new lumps or skin changes. It's a supplement to, not a replacement for, clinical exams by Dr. Safvati and mammograms.

I'm concerned about STIs. What screenings are available?

We understand your concern about STIs. Confidential screenings are available for chlamydia, gonorrhea, HIV, and syphilis. Dr. Safvati can recommend appropriate tests based on your individual situation.

I have a family history of breast or ovarian cancer. What does that mean for me?
