Learn To Do a Self Breast Exam

 

Takeaways:

  • There are 3 different ways to conduct a breast exam on yourself and the best time to do it is the week after your period during your follicular phase.
  • Start by standing in front of a mirror and looking for any breast or skin texture changes, visible lumps, or dimpling. Also, look out for nipple changes and discharge.
  • Regardless of which style you choose, begin at your armpits and make your way down to your nipple. Breasts are naturally lumpy, but you’re looking for a feeling of a small, hard pebble.
