Step 1: Begin by looking
at your breasts in the mirror with your shoulders straight and your arms on
your hips.
Here's what you should look for:
- · Breasts that are their usual size, shape, and color
- · Breasts that are evenly shaped without visible distortion or swelling
If you see any of the following changes, bring them to your
doctor's attention:
- · Dimpling, puckering, or bulging of the skin
- · A nipple that has changed position or an inverted nipple (pushed inward instead of sticking out)
- · Redness, soreness, rash, or swelling
Step 2: Now, raise your arms and look for the same changes
Step 3: While you're at the mirror, look for any
signs of fluid coming out of one or both nipples (this could be a watery,
milky, or yellow fluid or blood).
Step 4: Next,
feel your breasts while lying down, using your right hand to feel your left
breast and then your left hand to feel your right breast. Use a firm, smooth
touch with the first few finger pads of your hand, keeping the fingers flat and
together. Use a circular motion, about the size of a quarter.
Cover the entire breast from top to bottom, side to side — from
your collarbone to the top of your abdomen, and from your armpit to your
cleavage.
Follow
a pattern to be sure that you cover the whole breast. You can begin at the
nipple, moving in larger and larger circles until you reach the outer edge of
the breast. You can also move your fingers up and down vertically, in rows, as
if you were mowing a lawn. This up-and-down approach seems to work best for
most women. Be sure to feel all the tissue from the front to the back of your
breasts: for the skin and tissue just beneath, use light pressure; use medium
pressure for tissue in the middle of your breasts; use firm pressure for the
deep tissue in the back. When you've reached the deep tissue, you should be
able to feel down to your ribcage.
Step 5: Finally, feel your
breasts while you are standing or sitting. Many women find that the easiest way
to feel their breasts is when their skin is wet and slippery, so they like to
do this step in the shower. Cover your entire breast, using the same hand
movements described in Step 4.
