breast self exam (bse)

How to Perform a BSE?

To perform a BSE, follow these steps:
Visual Inspection: Stand in front of a mirror with your arms at your sides. Look for any changes in size, shape, or symmetry. Raise your arms above your head and look again.
Manual Inspection: While lying down, use the pads of your fingers to feel your breasts. Use a circular motion and cover the entire breast area, from the collarbone to the top of the abdomen, and from the armpit to the cleavage. Repeat while standing, perhaps in the shower.
Check for Discharge: Gently squeeze each nipple to check for any discharge, including clear, milky, or bloody fluid.
