💗 UNDERSTANDING BREAST DENSITY 💗
Did you know breast density can affect how breast cancer shows up on a mammogram? 👀

Breast density refers to the amount of fibrous and glandular tissue compared to fatty tissue in your breasts.
It’s completely normal — but women with dense breasts may need additional screening for the best results.

You can’t feel breast density — it can only be seen on a mammogram.
💬 Talk to your GP at Healthicare about your mammogram results and the best screening options for you.

💗 POST 4: BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH 💗
🎀 1 in 7 Australian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer — but early detection can save lives.
It can develop silently, so regular breast checks and screenings are essential.

🔍 Watch for signs like:
• Lumps or swelling
• Changes in size or shape
• Ni**le discharge or skin changes

🎯 Higher risk if you:
• Are over 40
• Have a family history of breast or ovarian cancer
• Have dense breast tissue

💬 This October, prioritise your health.
