Use this quick guide before reading the hospital list.

Suitable when you prefer the public pathway and can wait for referral-based specialist care.
- Urgent Do not wait for red flags
Bleeding after menopause, chest pain, breathlessness, severe headache, or severe pelvic pain should be assessed urgently.
Screening mammograms are essential for postmenopausal women because breast cancer risk rises with age. Ministry of Health Malaysia guidelines recommend every 2 years for women 50-74. For private options with latest tech, travel to nearest larger city is needed. Subsidised MyMammo via Hospital Seri Manjung provides free or very low cost screening for citizen women 40+. For Muslim women in Sitiawan, most screening centres have female technicians for the exam - state this preference at booking. Tips: no deodorant or lotion on exam day, wear two-piece, results reported in 2-7 working days. Women with very dense tissue (common in Asian women) or family breast cancer history should consider 3D tomosynthesis (30% higher detection) or additional tests like breast ultrasound - discuss with radiologist or obstetrics and gynaecology specialist.
