The Five Steps of a Breast
Self-Exam
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, gently squeeze each
nipple between your finger and thumb and check
for nipple discharge (this could be a 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
fingers of your hand, keeping the fingers flat
and together.
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. Be sure to feel all the
breast tissue: just beneath your skin with a
soft touch and down deeper with a firmer touch.
Begin examining each area with a very soft
touch, and then increase pressure so that you
can feel the deeper tissue, 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.
