Self Breast Exam

HOW TO DO A BREAST SELF-EXAM STANDING IN FRONT OF A MIRROR With your arms at your sides, then with your arms above your head: Examine your breasts – Are they their usual size, shape, and color, without any swelling? Inspect the nipples – Is there any discharge? If you are breastfeeding, is there non-breastmilk discharge? FEEL THE BREASTS FOR ANY ABNORMALITIES Use these steps while lying flat and again while standing in the shower: Use the fingers of one hand to examine the opposite breast, with firm, smooth motions. Press and move around the breast in circular motions the size of a quarter. Cover the entire breast from collarbone to top of the abdomen and from armpit to cleavage. Go over the breast side to side and top to bottom. Switch hands and examine the other breast in the same way. SELF BREAST EXAM WITH IMPLANTS Ask your surgeon to help you identify the edges of your implants. Follow the same steps as above. Feel for changes to the implants, including around the edges. WEN TO SEE YOUR DOCTOR If you find any abnormalities, see your doctor as soon as possible. ABNORMALITIES INCLUDE: Changes in size, shape, or color Dimpling, puckering, bulging of the skin Changes to the nipples Rash or redness Soreness or swelling not related to menstrual cycle or pregnancy changes Even if you perform monthly self exams, be sure to have regular checkups with your doctor for a clinical breast exam.
