Went to see a gynae, got promised to get my results in 2 weeks (which is already long), never got my test results back even after I called because there was always some excuse. Yet they wasted no time

I get that they’re a private business - but you’d think they’d care more about people’s lives because of the type of business they’re in. Be very careful if you decide to take a loved one to

The only reason why this isn't getting 5 stars is due to the parking. Since I've started going there seem to be more doctors and so parking has become an issue especially if you park in the narrow bay

What do you need to know about Breast Biopsy in Cape Town

A Breast Biopsy at Cape Town is a medical procedure that involves employing a small needle or a surgical cut to remove a tiny fragment of breast tissue for further examination. This is a standard process employed when an abnormality in the breast is detected. The primary objective is to discern whether any detected anomalies within your breast tissue are benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous).

The surgical procedure is, by and large, a straightforward process. It commences with your doctor using a needle, guided by ultrasound or X-ray, to extract the tissue sample. In certain cases, an incision in the skin might be necessary, which is typically done under local anesthesia so you may experience only minimal discomfort. Yet, the process's technicality necessitates you to seek service at a reputed medical facility at Cape Town that boasts advanced technology and skilled professionals. 

What's the Recovery Time for Breast Biopsy Procedures in Cape Town?

Recovery time for a Breast Biopsy is mostly quick, often spanning a few hours to a few days, contingent upon the type of biopsy performed and individual health circumstances. For a fine needle or a core needle biopsy, you might experience mild discomfort for a few hours post-procedure. A surgical biopsy may require you to limit your physical activities for a few days to a week.

Take heed that the recovery phase is characterized by personal health status and the specifics of the medical procedure itself. Always comply with your doctor’s instructions on wound care and medication. Pay attention to any signs of infection or heavy bleeding; promptly report such to your healthcare provider.

Are there Alternatives to Breast Biopsy Procedures in Cape Town?

Yes, there are alternative diagnostic methods available to a Breast Biopsy procedure in Cape Town. Imaging tests such as a mammogram, ultrasound, or MRI can be used in conjunction with a physical exam to evaluate any abnormalities found in the breast.

However, it is vital to understand that while these methods help visualize anomalies, a biopsy remains the most definitive way to conclusively diagnose breast cancer. Every individual's health scenario is unique and, as such, warrants personalized medical attention. Your doctor will walk you through the most appropriate testing method based on your particular situation.
