Early detection is key when it comes to breast cancer. While regular mammograms and doctor visits are essential, you can also perform a breast self-exam (BSE) at home to notice changes early. The method doctors recommend is simple, safe, and can be done monthly. Here’s a step-by-step guide to checking your breasts for signs of cancer.
Why Breast Self-Exams Matter
Breast self-exams help you become familiar with how your breasts normally look and feel. This makes it easier to detect any unusual changes such as lumps, thickening, or changes in skin texture. While BSE cannot replace mammograms or clinical exams, it is an important tool for early awareness.
