BREAST SELF-EXAM
•
    Breast Self-Exam (BSE)
•   Taking a few minutes to do a breast self-exam a minimum of once a month can make a lifetime
    of difference. Nearly 70% of all breast abnormalities are found through self-exams. If you find a
    lump, schedule an appointment with your doctor, but don't panic—8 out of 10 lumps are not
    cancerous. For additional peace of mind, call your doctor whenever you have concerns.
•   HOW TO DO A BREAST SELF-EXAM
•   In the Shower
•   Fingers flat, move gently over every part of each breast. Use your right hand to examine the left
    breast, left hand for the right breast. Check for any lump, hard knot, or thickening. Carefully
    observe any changes in your breasts.
•   Before a Mirror
•   Inspect your breasts with your arms at your sides. Next, raise your arms high overhead.
•   Look for any changes in the contour of each breast, a swelling, a dimpling of the skin, or changes
    in the nipples. Then rest your palms on your hips and press firmly to flex your chest muscles.
    Left and right breasts will not exactly match—few women's breasts do.
•   Lying Down
•   Place a pillow under your right shoulder and put your right arm behind your head. With the
    fingers of your left hand flat, press your right breast gently in small circular motions, moving
    vertically or in a circular pattern covering the entire breast.
•   Use light, medium, and firm pressure. Squeeze the nipple; check for discharge and lumps.
    Repeat these steps for your left breast.
MAMMOGRAM
• A mammogram is a lower dose x-ray picture,
  it helps a doctor to detect early cancer and
  also follow by a self- exam. Mammogram
  exams doesn’t cause cancer because the
  amount of radiation is low. Women should do
  one every 1 to 2 years, starting at age 40.
