Breast Awareness

Breast awareness involves regularly noticing how your breasts look and feel, to recognize any unusual changes early. This includes becoming familiar with your normal breast size, shape, and texture, and checking for lumps, swelling, skin changes, or nipple abnormalities. While routine self-exams can help, it’s most important to be aware of any new or persistent changes and report them promptly to a healthcare professional. Breast awareness empowers you to stay informed about your body, promoting early detection of potential issues, such as breast cancer, which can improve treatment outcomes.
