Breast concerns – Mammography
Two locations at the Lakewood Hospital Campus:
1450 Belle Avenue, third floor
14519 Detroit Avenue, second floor
216.521.6700
The American Cancer Society recommends having yearly mammograms beginning at age 40. If you are under age 40 and have a family history of breast cancer or other concerns, discuss with your physician as to when you should begin having mammograms. A mammogram is an x-ray exam of the breast and is used to detect and evaluate breast abnormalities, both in women who have no breast complaints or symptoms and in women who have breast symptoms (a lump, pain, or nipple discharge).
Mammography screenings are available at the Lakewood Hospital Community Health Center, 1450 Belle Avenue, 3rd Floor, Lakewood. To make a reservation, please call 216.521.6700.
Hormonal Concerns, Menstrual problems & Menopausal concerns
The menstrual cycle is not the same for every woman. On average, menstrual flow occurs every 28 days (with most women having cycles between 24 and 34 days), and lasts about 4 days. However, there is wide variation in timing and duration that is still considered normal, especially if your periods began within the last few years. While all women experience menopause, it affects each woman differently. This transition can be eased through education and preventive measures.
Many of our gynecologists and certified nurse midwives specialize in treating menopause.
