You might want to squeeze in your annual exam before our Brookwood NPs, Lindsay and Savannah, go on maternity leave this summer… because apparently they both had the same idea! 🤰🏼🤰🏻

Getting called back after a mammogram can feel unsettling, but it’s a normal part of care—especially for women with dense breast tissue. In fact, about 40% of women, particularly those in their 40s, have dense breasts.

Breast density varies, and the denser the tissue, the harder it can be to detect abnormalities on a mammogram alone. That’s why callbacks are common—they allow for additional imaging to get a clearer, more complete picture.

For women with C or D density, your provider may recommend next steps like a breast ultrasound or MRI. This isn’t bad news—it’s simply an added layer of protection to ensure the most accurate screening possible.

If you receive a callback, remember: it’s a proactive step in your care, not a reason to panic. 💙

Regular self-breast exams are important—and it’s not unusual to feel “lumps,” especially before your period. The best time to check is right after your period, when breast tissue is less tender. If you notice any of the following changes and they persist through your next cycle, it’s important to have a professional breast exam.

Breast lumps can feel different depending on what’s causing them. Some may feel soft and movable, while others may feel firmer or more irregular. Understanding these differences can help you stay aware of what’s normal for your body.

Most changes are not serious—but staying consistent with self-exams and knowing when to follow up helps ensure you’re taking the right steps for your health. 💗

Most breast changes don’t hurt.
And that’s exactly why they’re easy to ignore.

Here’s the truth: Not every symptom means something serious—but every change deserves attention.

If you notice a lump, skin changes, or something that just feels different, trust your instincts and get it checked.

Early evaluation = peace of mind (and in some cases, early detection).

Myth or fact—do you actually know the difference? 👀

When it comes to breast health, what you think you know can impact when (or if) you seek care.

Understanding the facts helps you stay proactive—not reactive.

Happy Easter. 🌷
Today, we are fixing our eyes on Jesus—the One who endured, who carried, who finished it all in love (Hebrews 12:2). In Him, we find a hope that is steady and a grace that meets us right where we are.

May your day be marked by quiet joy, deep rest, and the gentle reminder that you are held.

Breast health is more than a single appointment—it’s an ongoing part of your overall wellness.

From knowing when to start mammograms to understanding what changes to look for, staying informed helps you stay proactive.

Early detection matters—and it starts with you.

Earlier diagnosis changes lives.
If you could tell your younger self one thing about your health, what would it be?

Endometriosis doesn’t have a one-size-fits-all treatment and it shouldn’t.

If you’ve been told to “just manage the pain,” you’re not getting the full picture. Treatment for endometriosis is personalized and can evolve over time based on your symptoms, goals, and lifestyle.

Options may include:
• Hormonal therapies to help slow progression
• Pain management strategies
• Pelvic floor physical therapy
• Minimally invasive surgical options

The most important step? Starting the conversation.

You deserve a care plan that not only looks at your symptoms, but your quality of life.

If your pain is impacting your day-to-day, it’s time to talk to your OB-GYN.

How much period pain is actually normal?

For many women, severe cramps are dismissed as something they just have to live with. But pain that disrupts your daily life is not something you should have to push through.

Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 women, yet it often takes years to diagnose because symptoms are normalized or misunderstood.

The truth is:
✔ Severe period pain isn’t something you should ignore
✔ Endometriosis doesn’t always show up on ultrasound
✔ Your pain is valid — and it deserves answers

If your symptoms interfere with work, school, or everyday life, it may be time to talk to your OB-GYN.

Endometriosis Awareness Month is about breaking the cycle of dismissing women’s pain and helping more women get the care they deserve.

Today we celebrate women — and the power of listening to them. For generations, women’s pain was dismissed. Symptoms were minimized. Concerns were labeled “normal.” In women’s health, progress begins when we believe women. At OBGYN South, we’re committed to evidence-based care, earlier diagnoses, and conversations that put women at the center of their health decisions. Because supporting women’s health isn’t a moment — it’s a mission.
