Breast Self-Exam
    

Directory Listing(s) :


Regular breast self-exam can help you know how your breasts normally feel and look, so you can notice any changes. When you find a change, you should see your health care provider.

Examining your breasts is an important way to find a breast cancer early, when it's most likely to be cured.

Women older than 20 years should perform monthly breast self-examinations (BSE). If you still have menstrual periods, you should perform the examination a few days after your period has ended.

The American Cancer Society encourages women to report any breast changes to their docotor or nurse without delay.
