What is the correct way to examine your breasts?

Breast self-examination is a very common method for women. Breast disease has been a high incidence disease in recent years, so women of childbearing age have more or less suffered from some breast diseases, but sometimes we cannot discover them in time, so we should pay attention to some correct breast examination methods to conduct preventive examinations and respond to treatment in time.

1. Stand in front of a large, well-lit mirror with your clothes pulled down to your waist and observe your breasts. Don't scream if your breasts are different shapes and sizes. Most women have breasts of varying sizes. Let your arms hang naturally and carefully observe any changes in the size, shape, position of the breasts or skin, including wrinkles, dimpling, ulcers and discoloration. Check your nipples for dimpling, scaling, and changes in orientation.

2. Next, place your palms on your hips and press down hard to highlight the pectoral muscles in front of your breasts. Turn your body to clearly check the external changes of your breasts.

3. Then, bend over in front of the mirror, rotate your arms and elbows, tighten your chest muscles so that your breasts fall forward, and observe the changes in breast shape and contour.

4. Check whether there is fluid flowing out of the nipple. Pinch the outer tissue of the nipple with your thumb and index finger, and pull towards the nipple to see if any fluid flows out. Repeat the same steps to check on the other side.

Breast examination is very important for women. Sometimes, even if you have serious breast diseases, there will be no major symptoms, so once obvious symptoms appear, it means that the condition has worsened. For us, once we find problems through our own correct breast examination, we should go to the hospital for treatment in time.
