Breast wellness is a lifelong conversation

Your breasts don’t stay the same, and neither should your care. From your 30s through your 70s and beyond, life brings changes: hormones, pregnancies, Peri-menopause, and ageing. Each stage tells a different story in your breasts, and each deserves its own attention.

That’s why we don’t see breast wellness as a once-off or annual event, but rather as a lifelong conversation. We keep your history, your images and your risk profile. In getting to know you and your breasts, we walk with you through the years, adjusting your care as your body changes.

Here’s what to look out for, and how we guide you, through each decade of life.

Your thirties

awareness and beginnings

Your 30s are about getting to know your breasts and your risk.

  • Talk to us about doing your Personalised Risk Assessment - it’s the first step in understanding your individual breast cancer risk.
  • If you’re higher risk, we may recommend earlier imaging.
  • Build healthy habits: regular exercise, a balanced diet, limited alcohol and no smoking.
  • Do monthly self-checks so you know what’s normal for you, and reach out if something feels different.

Your forties

the screening
years

Your 40s are the start of regular, proactive breast care.

  • Begin annual mammograms.
  • We’ll talk to you about extra imaging depending on your personalised risk assessment.
  • Keep your doctor updated on new family history or changes in your breasts.

Menopause

navigating
change

Menopause brings shifts in your body, and in your breasts, too.
  • Breasts often become less dense, so mammograms are clearer.
  • Breast cancer risk increases with age, so consistent screening is vital.
  • Maintaining a healthy weight and staying active are key.

Post-menopause

staying consistent

Your breast health journey doesn’t stop; it evolves.

  • Continue with annual mammograms.
  • Talk to your doctor about HRT, its risks and benefits.
  • We’ll adjust your screening based on your health and life stage.
