Breast self-exam

A breast self-exam (BSE) is a personal practice that helps individuals check their breasts for unusual changes or abnormalities, which could indicate potential health issues like breast cancer. It involves visually inspecting and manually feeling the breasts for lumps, changes in shape or texture, and skin alterations. Performing BSE regularly, typically once a month, can help you become familiar with your own body and recognize any changes that may need medical attention. While BSE is not a substitute for regular medical check-ups or mammograms, it is a proactive way to monitor your breast health.
