BreastSelf-Exam

A Breast Self-Exam (BSE) is a personal check that individuals can perform to monitor their breast health. It involves regularly examining your breasts for any unusual changes, such as lumps, swelling, or alterations in shape or texture. Typically conducted once a month, BSE can help with early detection of issues, including breast cancer. It’s important to do the exam in a comfortable setting, ideally a few days after your menstrual period, when breasts are less likely to be tender. While BSE is a useful tool, it should complement regular clinical exams and mammograms as advised by healthcare professionals.
