A breast self-exam involves inspecting and feeling the breasts for any changes. Here’s a simple guide:
1. Visual Inspection: Stand in front of a mirror with your arms at your sides. Look for any changes in the shape, size, or skin texture of your breasts. 2. Physical Inspection: Lie down and use the pads of your fingers to feel for lumps in a circular motion, covering the entire breast area and armpit. 3. Check for Discharge: Gently squeeze the nipple to check for any unusual discharge.
