Breast care & assessment in Fez
Dr Jihad Abbou provides breast consultations in Fez for a lump, pain, nipple discharge or other breast changes. The visit helps determine which examination, imaging or further assessment is appropriate.
Have a new breast change assessed
A new breast or armpit lump should be examined. Other changes to discuss include a newly inverted nipple, skin dimpling or bloodstained nipple discharge. Many lumps have a non-cancerous cause, but the cause cannot be determined from symptoms alone.
What happens during a consultation?
Dr Abbou asks about the change, how long it has been present and any connection with your menstrual cycle, pregnancy or breastfeeding. Previous breast conditions and family history are also relevant. A clinical examination helps guide the next steps.
Breast ultrasound, mammography or a biopsy may be needed depending on the findings. The practice provides breast assessment and ultrasound; arrangements for mammography or further specialist investigations are clarified during care.
Bring earlier imaging and results
If you have already had a mammogram, ultrasound or biopsy, bring both the reports and the images when available. Comparing records can help the doctor understand what has changed and avoid relying on an incomplete summary.
If you have a previous breast cancer diagnosis or ongoing specialist care, bring that treatment record too. The consultation can help organize appropriate follow-up and coordination with the relevant team.
Your questions, answered
Does a breast lump always mean cancer?
No. Many breast lumps are non-cancerous, but a new lump needs a medical examination rather than self-diagnosis.
Can I consult for nipple discharge?
Yes. Mention whether it occurs spontaneously, affects one or both breasts and contains blood. The doctor will assess the appropriate investigations.
Should I bring my mammogram?
Yes. Bring previous mammograms, ultrasound images and reports, and any biopsy results so they can be reviewed together.
