How to check for breast cancer at home

Welcome to our comprehensive guide on performing a breast self-examination. This two-part video will empower you to take charge of your breast health. Explore the significance of self-exams and the crucial role they play in early detection.

Begin by standing in front of a mirror and removing your clothes. Lift your arms and observe your breasts. Look for nipple retraction, masses, or dimpling.

Next, examine your neck, upper chest, and underarm (axillary) areas for any unusual lumps, swellings, or tenderness.

Using your fingers, gently feel your breast tissue in a circular motion, covering all areas from top to bottom. Pay special attention to any abnormalities like lumps, changes in texture, or pain.

Carefully examine the nipple and areola for any discharge, puckering, or changes in appearance.

Perform the same steps on your other breast to ensure thorough examination.

Remember, if you notice anything unusual during the self-exam, such as a lump or persistent pain, don't hesitate to consult your healthcare provider. Early detection is key to successful treatment.
