Breast Pain: What Next?

April 14, 2017 by Administrator

Breast PainBreast pain is a common symptom that affects many women.

For some women, the pain is related to menstruation and can appear at certain times of the month, usually a few days before their cycle. In others, the pain appears more randomly. Breast pain is most common in younger women who have not yet gone through menopause.

The good news is that while breast pain can be alarming (and uncomfortable), it’s usually not an indicator of breast cancer.

However, if you experience ongoing pain or if your pain seems to be getting worse, it’s a good idea to see your doctor for a breast exam. If necessary, he or she may recommend a mammogram, ultrasound, or biopsy in order to investigate and rule out any problems.

In most cases, breast pain resolves itself. If it continues, your doctor may make adjustments to any hormonal birth control you may be taking, or recommend over-the-counter pain medications like aspirin or ibuprofen.

March 29, 2017 by Administrator

Christopher G. W. Bauman, M.D.Please join the physicians and staff in welcoming Dr. Christopher Bauman to The Breast Center of Maple Grove. This month we’re shining the spotlight on Dr. Bauman so you can get to know him and what he does at The Breast Center of Maple Grove.

Meet. Dr. Bauman

Dr. Bauman joined The Breast Center of Maple Grove in July of 2016.  He received his undergraduate degree from Saint Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota, Summa Cum Laude and his medical degree from the University of Iowa College of Medicine, Iowa City, Iowa.   He completed his residency at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Dr. Bauman is a board certified diagnostic radiologist with special interest in musculoskeletal and women’s imaging. When he’s not working, Dr. Bauman enjoys spending time with his wife and two children, and many outdoor sports including canoeing, fishing, tennis, and soccer.

Breast Imaging at The Breast Center of Maple Grove

Dr. Bauman is one of the physicians who interprets mammograms and other breast imaging exams at The Breast Center of Maple Grove. He is passionate about helping women take their breast health seriously with regular annual mammograms. When caught early, breast cancer tends to respond very well to treatments, and survival rates are high. Catching early breast cancer is exactly what mammograms are designed to do. Recommended annually for all women beginning at age 40, a mammogram is a screening tool designed to detect abnormalities and potential cancers before they reach an advanced stage.

Scheduling at The Breast Center of Maple Grove

Mammograms are available by advance appointment, same-day appointment, or on a walk-in basis. Our office is open Monday through Friday 7:00am-5:00pm, and Tuesday 7:00am-8:00pm.

Your Mammogram at The Breast Center of Maple Grove

March 15, 2017 by Administrator

Your Mammogram at BCMGYou’ve scheduled your mammogram at The Breast Center of Maple Grove—now what?

On the day of your exam, please remember these easy guidelines:

  • Don’t use lotions, deodorants, perfumes or powders above the waist, since some of these products have ingredients that may interfere with the quality of your mammogram images
  • Remove jewelry and other metal accessories
  • Wear loose comfortable clothing with a separate top and bottom, since you’ll need to undress from the waist up
  • Relax! Your technologist will guide you through the procedure and help you feel comfortable

The Exam

An experienced female technologist will conduct your mammogram. First, she’ll ask you questions about your personal medical history and relevant family history. If you have any questions about your exam, your technologist will be happy to answer them, and help you feel comfortable. Then you’ll change into a warm soft robe, and remove all jewelry and accessories. The technologist will position your breast between two plates, which will then compress the breast while an image is taken. The technologist will reposition the breast, which will be compressed and imaged again. That process will be repeated on the other breast. That’s it! The whole exam takes less than10 minutes to complete.

The Results

Your mammogram images will be read by one of our Minneapolis Radiology board certified radiologists. A final report will be sent to your referring provider within 24 hours.

Need more info?

We’re here to help! If you have questions about an upcoming mammogram, please call our office during business hours at 763-398-6370.

What is a breast biopsy procedure?

February 28, 2017 by Administrator

What is a breast biopsy procedure-A breast biopsy is a procedure in which a small sample of breast cells is removed and tested for cancer. The results will indicate if the cells are benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). A breast biopsy procedure is the only definitive way to know if a particular breast abnormality is cancerous.

What Happens During a Breast Biopsy Procedure?

During a breast biopsy, a local anesthetic is used to numb the breast and then a radiologist uses a needle to remove the tissue sample. The radiologist will use medical imaging technology to ensure the biopsy needle is placed in the right location. The Breast Center of Maple Grove offers two types of minimally-invasive breast biopsy procedures:

  • Ultrasound-guided breast biopsy uses ultrasound waves to help locate the appropriate location.
  • Stereotactic breast biopsy uses a special mammography machine to locate the biopsy site. This type of breast biopsy procedure allows for multiple tissue samples to be obtained through just one insertion of the needle.

Your Breast Biopsy at The Breast Center of Maple Grove

A critical member of the team at The Breast Center of Maple Grove is Tracy Fisher, a Certified Breast Patient Navigator. At The Breast Center of Maple Grove, we understand the anxiety that can come along with a breast biopsy procedure—that’s why all of our patients have the support of the Patient Navigator. Tracy can help you understand upcoming procedures, next steps, treatment options, and she can even provide a hand to hold throughout the procedure.

Our center offers a relaxing and comfortable environment, state-of-the-art technology, and appointments that fit within your busy schedule. Our staff is waiting to answer your questions.
