In October (Breast Cancer Awareness Month), many women schedule annual mammograms as a result of the national spotlight on breast health and breast cancer risk. But what happens if a mammogram identifies dense breast tissue? Nearly half of women aged 40 and over who have mammograms are told they have dense breasts, which can increase risk of breast cancer. For women with the densest breasts, the risk for breast cancer can be four to six times higher than women with the least dense breasts. Dr. Pamela Habib; Head of US Medical Affairs, Bayer Radiology and Dr. David Schacht; Breast Radiologist at Northwestern’s Lynne Sage Breast Center at Prentice Women's Hospital join Michelle to talk about the importance of screenings and what it means for women with dense breasts.

By age 60, half of men suffer from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as enlarged prostate. The common condition causes patients to experience difficultly starting and stopping urination, feeling a frequent or urgent need to pee, and being unable to completely empty their bladder.

Rezūm™ Water Vapor Therapy is a non-surgical treatment for men 50 years or older that can be performed in a doctor’s office. Dr. Rahul Mehan from the East Valley Urology Center of Arizona talks about signs and symptoms of an enlarged prostate and new treatments available.
