Breast Examination & Counseling in Raebareli
Routine breast examinations are a crucial aspect of preventive healthcare for women, helping detect lumps, changes, or signs of breast disease early. At Mithila Women's Hospital in Raebareli, Dr. Shilpi Singh offers professional breast checks, clinical evaluations for breast concerns, and guidance on performing breast self-exams.
The role of clinical breast exams and counseling
A clinical breast exam is a physical examination performed by a healthcare professional to check the size, shape, and skin of the breasts and underarm areas for lumps, swelling, or fluid discharge. Breast counseling teaches women about their personal risk factors, how to identify normal breast tissue versus changes, and when to seek further imaging like a mammogram or ultrasound. Early detection is the most powerful tool in managing breast conditions successfully.
When should you consult a doctor about breast changes?
You should schedule a consultation promptly if you notice a new lump or thickening in your breast or underarm, changes in the size or shape of your breast, skin changes (like dimpling or redness), a retracted nipple, or nipple discharge. Most breast lumps are non-cancerous (benign fibroadenomas or cysts), but all changes must be clinically evaluated.

Dr. Shilpi Singh performs gentle clinical examinations and takes the time to teach you the correct technique for monthly breast self-exams.
