How to do a Breast Examination on yourself the correct way? - with Dr Tasha

In today's video, I am going to talk about conducting a self-examination on your breasts.

First of all, what are you looking for?
You should look at the shape of the breasts and then look at the skin. So are there any irregularities in the shape and the contour of the breasts? If a lump is present, sometimes you can actually see a fullness on the breast itself. Looking for any dimpling of the skin. People get a little bit confused when they hear this term and what is actually means is that the skin is drawn inwards exactly like a dimple of the cheeks.

To know more, watch the video till the end.

Hi, I'm Dr TASHA

I’m a Doctor, Breast Cancer Surgeon and Medical Educator. After 20 years helping people to understand and overcome breast health problems, I’ve seen first hand the fear, frustration and stress that my patients go through.

As a breast specialist with over a decade’s worth of experience, I understand finding the right information, processing a diagnosis, understanding treatment and getting accurate, practical advice as you ride the rollercoaster of emotions can be really tough.

But I’m here to help.

Many people think that as a Breast Specialist Surgeon, I just do surgery. But that’s far from the truth. In fact, the majority of my patients don’t need any treatment at all – just advice and support.

The internet can be a wonderful source of information but when it comes to breast health there’s a lot of inaccurate information out there. Listening to the wrong advice could cause you unnecessary worry or even put your health at risk.

So I wanted to create an accessible hub where you could find useful, accurate and reliable information from a trusted source – a Breast Health Doctor – all in one place.

That’s exactly what you’ll find on My Breast My Health, welcome to my YouTube Channel.
