You may wish to consult a breast specialist if you notice any of the following:

It is natural to worry when you discover a lump or experience discomfort, but not all breast changes indicate cancer. Understanding the nature of your symptoms can offer reassurance and guide the next steps.

Common conditions we address include:

Breast cancer is the most common cancer affecting women in Singapore, which means you may already know someone who has been screened or treated. Hearing their experiences can prompt you to reflect on your own breast health, especially if you have postponed screening or noticed something new.

Regular checks play an important role in early detection, yet many women hesitate because they are unsure what a change might mean. If something feels different in your breast, even if you are uncertain whether it is significant, seeking an assessment with a breast specialist can help you understand the situation and ease your concerns.

What should I expect during my first visit to a breast clinic?

Your first consultation will involve a clinical breast examination. Depending on your symptoms and history, the breast doctor may advise imaging such as a mammogram or ultrasound. If the results suggest the need for further clarification, a biopsy may be recommended. You will have time to raise questions and discuss the findings so you can leave the appointment with a clearer understanding of your breast health.

Do I need to make an appointment, or are walk-ins accepted?

Appointments are encouraged to ensure adequate time for a proper evaluation. You may arrange a visit to our breast clinic in Singapore by calling, emailing, or sending an online request.

Do you accept insurance or Medisave?

Our clinic accepts a range of insurance plans and Medisave, depending on individual eligibility. Some insurers may also provide direct billing. If you are unsure about your coverage, our team can assist with verifying the details and guiding you through any documents that need to be completed.

When should I have a mammogram?

Women aged 40 and above are generally encouraged to undergo regular mammograms as part of routine breast cancer screening, even if they do not have symptoms. If you notice a new breast lump, nipple discharge, persistent breast pain or have a strong family history of breast cancer, your doctor may recommend a mammogram or other imaging earlier based on your individual risk factors.

Do I need a referral to see a breast surgeon?

A referral is not always required to consult a breast surgeon. You may wish to arrange a consultation if you have breast symptoms, an abnormal screening result or concerns about your breast health. If you have been referred by your GP or another healthcare provider, any relevant medical records or imaging reports can help support your assessment.
