How to do Breast Self-exam
Posted: Wednesday, April 27, 2011 3:43:45 AMIt's a good idea to examine your breasts once a month, and it makes sense to choose the same time each month because breasts usually change with the menstrual cycle. The best time to do a BSE is about a week after your period starts.
There are two parts to a BSE: how your breasts look how they feel The looking part is easy. Before you put on a bra, stand or sit in front of a mirror with your arms relaxed at your sides. Make sure you are in a place with good lighting. Look at your breasts carefully. Do you see anything unusual, like a change in the way your nipples look? Any dimples or changes in the skin? Then look at yourself from different angles and arm positions. Keep your hands at your sides, raise your arms overhead, place your hands firmly on your hips (to tighten your chest wall muscles), and bend forward. Watch for dimples or changes in the skin. Everyone's breasts look different. Get to know what yours look like. The next part is how your breasts feel. It may seem strange at first to handle your breasts. Some girls feel self-conscious about it, but there's no reason to feel guilty or awkward. BSE is a positive way to stay healthy. Lie down flat on your back, with a pillow or towel under one shoulder. Put that arm under your head. Examine your breasts one at a time. If you're starting with your right breast, put a pillow under your right shoulder, raise your right arm, place your right hand behind your head, and use your left hand to feel your breast.
