This October, Gonzaba Medical Group encourages our patients, families, and community to make breast health a priority through regular screenings and awareness. Breast Cancer Awareness Month serves as an important reminder that early detection can make a difference, and routine mammograms are one of the most effective tools for identifying breast cancer in its early stages.

Protect Your Health by:

• Women should watch for lumps, changes in breast shape, or changes in skin texture.
• Men should also report unusual changes to their doctor.
• Maintain a healthy lifestyle: Exercise regularly, eat a balanced diet, limit alcohol, and avoid smoking.

While breast cancer is more common in women, men should also be aware of changes in their breast health and discuss any concerns with their provider.

Every patient’s risk factors and screening needs are different. Talk with your provider about your personal and family health history to determine the screening schedule that is right for you.

This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, take a step toward protecting your health and well-being—schedule your mammogram today.
