Visual Inspection: Stand in front of a mirror with your shoulders straight and your arms on your hips. Look for any changes in the size, shape, or color of your breasts. Raise Your Arms: Lift your arms and look for the same changes. Check for Discharge: Gently squeeze each nipple to check for any discharge (milky, yellow fluid, or blood). Lie Down and Palpate: Lie down and use your right hand to examine your left breast and vice versa. Use a firm, smooth touch with the first few fingers, keeping them flat and together. Cover the entire breast from top to bottom and side to side. Palpate Standing Up: Finally, feel your breasts while you are standing or sitting, which can be easier in the shower. Use the same hand movements as described in the previous step.
