How to self-check breast disease

Breast diseases are very common in women, and many women suffer from breast diseases without knowing it. Once the disease is discovered, the symptoms are usually more serious, and it will be more difficult to treat or even difficult to treat. Faced with this situation, people need to master some methods of self-checking breast diseases. So here we will introduce how to self-check breast diseases.

Breast self-examination can be done by looking, touching, holding and twisting. For women with normal menstruation, the best time to examine the breasts is on the 9th to 11th day after menstruation. At this time, the effect of estrogen on the breast is small, the breast is in a dormant state, and lesions are easy to detect. If a lump appears during lactation and is clinically considered to be a tumor, further examination should be carried out after weaning.

In addition to the breast, you also need to check whether there are swollen lymph nodes in the armpits.
