Benign Breast Conditions

Many women experience breast conditions over their lifetime. There are many conditions that can be discovered that are benign or non-cancerous that can produce symptoms such as pain, nipple discharge and some may go undetected until breast cancer screening such as mammography or clinical breast exam take place. The breast health team at Nebraska Medicine can help you navigate any breast care concern with experts that specialize in breast health screening, genetics and risk, and general overall breast health. We offer a full range of state of the art screening and diagnostic services at three convenient locations including our main campus Olson Center for Women's Health.
