Take your breast health in your own hands.
Breast Self-Exam
A Breast Self-Exam is an essential screening strategy, especially when used in combination with regular physical exams by a doctor and mammography. It is not intended to replace these critical components. However, nearly 20% of breast cancers are found by physical examination rather than by mammography. Therefore, we strongly recommend that all women routinely perform breast self-exams as part of their overall breast cancer screening strategy.
A Breast Self-Exam is easy to do and will just take a few minutes. And should be performed by all adult women. Perform the exam monthly to familiarize yourself with how your breasts normally look and feel. Examine yourself several days after your period ends, when your breasts are least likely to be swollen and tender. If you are no longer having periods, choose a day that’s easy to remember, such as the rst or last day of the month.
Over the course of several months, you will get to know the look and feel of YOUR breasts. You will begin to notice if something stands or if something has changed.
We suggest you keep a journal to record the ndings of your breast self-exams. You can include notes and diagrams—like a small map of your breasts—where you feel lumps or irregularities.
If you nd a lump, experience nipple discharge or have other concerns, don’t hesitate to schedule an appointment with your doctor, but don’t panic—only about 20% of lumps are cancerous.
Here are the Three Steps to Your Monthly Breast Self Exam:
Step 1: Stand Up
Use the pads of your nger tips to examine your entire breast. Checking the entire breast including the areola, nipple and armpit. Feeling for lumps and knots. Using the spiral method, move in a circular pattern from the outside of your breast to its center. -OR- Use the radial method. Begin at the outermost top of the breast moving toward the nipple then away.
It is important to choose whatever method is most comfortable for you and use the same method when you perform a breast self-exam each month.

Step 2: Take a Look
Stand in front of a well-lit mirror. Inspect your breasts with your arms at your sides. Raise your arms high overhead. Look carefully for any changes in their contour, any swelling, or dimpling of the skin. Also look closely for any changes in the nipples.
Next, place your palms on your hips and press them rmly to ex your chest muscles. Note your left and right breasts will not exactly match (this is not a cause for concern). Look for any dimpling, puckering, or changes, particularly on one side versus the other.
Step 3: Lay Down
