Breast Cancer Self Examination
The 6 steps to performing a breast self-examination.
1
In front of the mirror
Take a good look at your breats in the mirror and start by looking for changes in the shape, size or position of your nipples.
2
Examine armpit
Raise your arms in the air, you are going to look for any distortion of your breasts such as dimpling of the skin.
3
Up and down
Lie flat when examining your breasts. This allows your breast tissue to spread out and makes examination easier.
4
Circles and Wedges
Using firm pressure with flat fingers on your hand press your breast tissue and try to identify lumps.
5
Squeeze the nipple
Gently squeeze each nipple and look for discharge. If there is any lump or discharge, consult a doctor.

Check Left Armpit
