3. How can women self-examine breast lumps?

3.1. Inspection in front of the mirror

First, stand in front of a mirror, topless, with your arms hanging at your sides, and observe the shape of your breasts. However, it is not abnormal for one breast to be slightly larger than the other. Next, raise your arms above your head, turn your body, and see if the shape of your breasts changes. Then, put your hands on your hips and slowly rotate your body to the right and left to check if your nipples and breasts are sunken, red, swollen, or have skin damage. Finally, place your palms on your hips and press down hard while rotating your body. This will make the outline of your breasts clear. Pay attention to observe whether there are any abnormal changes in the shape of the breasts. If any abnormal changes are found, compare them with the other side to see whether the breasts are symmetrical. If there is asymmetry, be alert and seek medical attention in time.

3.2. Examination in standing or sitting position

First, raise your left hand behind your head and use your right hand to examine your left breast. The correct range of breast examination is from below the clavicle to the sixth rib, from the anterior axillary line to the inside near the sternum. The correct way to check is to put three fingers together, start from 12 o'clock above the breast (compare the breast to a clock), and use the fingertips to press against the skin in a clockwise direction to perform a circular massage check. After each circle, return to 12 o'clock and move down 2 cm to do the second circle. The third round of inspection should check the entire breast up to the nipple.

What should women eat to be good for their breasts?

1. Soybeans

Increasing your intake of soy foods can be beneficial for breast health. Because soybeans and foods processed from soybeans contain isoflavones, a substance that can lower estrogen levels in women and reduce breast discomfort. If you eat two meals a day containing foods such as tofu, soy milk, etc., it will be very beneficial to breast health.

2. Edible fungi

Foods such as Tremella, black fungus, shiitake mushrooms, Hericium erinaceus, and Poria cocos are natural biological response regulators that can enhance the body's immune ability and have strong anti-cancer effects. Studies have shown that eating more edible fungi can improve women's breast health.

3. Kelp

Kelp is a large edible algae. For women, it not only has health benefits such as beauty, hair care, and weight loss, but can also assist in the treatment of breast hyperplasia. Studies have found that the reason why kelp can alleviate breast hyperplasia is that it contains a large amount of iodine, which can promote the luteinization of ovarian follicles, adjust endocrine disorders, and reduce the risk of breast hyperplasia in women.

4. Nuts and seeds

Seed and nut foods include soybeans and peanuts containing lecithin, almonds, walnuts, sesame seeds, etc. which are rich in protein. They contain large amounts of antioxidants and can have anti-cancer effects.
