Checking breast cancer might be done by several new methods among which T-Scan is most inovative: It is based on the fact that normal and malignant breast tissues have different electrical properties. Therefor, The T-Scan generates a low-level electric signal that is transmitted into the body and then the resulting electric field is measured by sensors in a non-invasive probe placed on the breast.

Unfortunately no, the only way is the known way.


But you should go to an experienced doctor, of-course nobody knows your body better then you but a second opinion might help.

Breast examination, mammography (X-ray of the breast), ultrasound, MRI and biopsy are at present the best modes for diagnosing breast cancer. A woman without family history of breast cancer is advised to have a breast examination every year and a mammogram every one or two years (between the ages of 50-75). An ultrasound is sometimes added. A woman with a family history needs a yearly mammogram beginning at the age of 40 and a regular examination every 6 months. A woman who is shown to carry a breast cancer gene (BRCA) needs a yearly MRI examination. A biopsy is indicated when these examinations suggest a tumor.

There are some differences between countries and health programs in terms of ages and frequencies of the examinations. A woman at the age of 30 should consult a breast surgeon and follow his advice. Self examination is important as a woman should know her breast and seek medical advice when something feels different. But one should keep in mind that progress in the outcomes of treatments for breast cancer has been made mainly by early diagnosis, and this has been achieved mainly by regular ammograms that show small cancers before they can be palpated, either by the woman herself or by her physician.

In my day job I write about Blood Pressure Treatment and treat those who suffer from blood pressure problems. Low blood pressure is a particular interest and I'm often asked about how to lower cholesterol levels. A healthy heart is becoming a huge focus for many of us nowadays. Improving your blood pressure control and thus the health of your heart and circulation system is really important. My most recent online "adventure" is to start a facility for people to ask me my opinion and to provide high quality health information by answering medical questions online.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I also have a special interest in the problem of feeling Tired All the Time and in those who suffer from chronic fatigue or lethargy. This seems to tie in also to skin care issues or skin treatment problems and suggestions. Tiredness and fatigue can lead to major problems for many individuals in modern society and the way that this can affect all areas of general health can be quite invasive in terms of daily life and coping skills.

My work with footballers and athletes leads to a focus on Painful Shoulder conditions and on the problems associated with frozen shoulder or whiplash injuryRotator cuff injury causes problems for many of my patients.

When not working I daydream about my next amazing european vacation trip  My favorite European cities include Paris and Barcelona and my next blog project will be to write about the best way to spend a night in Paris and how to find an apartment in Barcelona. I just love European travel in all its forms.

Other than regular physical breast exams, you should be aware of any visible changes in the color or shape of your breast.  Symptoms such as redness, swelling, lumps, skin irritations, discoloration or nipple inversion should not be ignored.  You can read more about other signs you should be aware of and maintaining healthy breast here:

 There you’ll find lots of information on breast health and cancer prevention.  It’s also important to do breast self-examinations on a regular basis.  Hope this helps!
