Breast cancer early self-examination methods

　　Doubt yourself breast cancer , who want to check their breasts healthy ? So hurry up and learn two methods of breast self-examination.

　　Breast cancer early detection methods:

　　1. “Visual” inspection method

　　Stand naked in front of the mirror, raise your hands above your head, put your hands on your waist, and contract your chest muscles. Lean forward and observe the shape of the breasts and changes in the nipples and areolas. Pay attention to the changes in the appearance of both breasts, whether they are symmetrical, and whether there are any local skin bulges, depressions, and orange peel-like changes, as well as whether the skin on the breast surface is red, swollen, hot, or painful. Check whether the bilateral nipples are symmetrical, whether there are recent depressions, and whether there are scales on the nipples. Gently squeeze the nipples and observe whether there is any secretion.

　　2. Breast “touch” examination method

　　Lie on your left side, bend your knees, place your right hand on your forehead, and place a pillow under your right shoulder. Use the index finger, middle finger and ring finger of your left hand to press the right breast. Be careful not to pinch the breast tissue for inspection. Check the outside of your breasts, starting from your armpits to your nipples and from your collarbone to the bottom edge of your bra. When examining the breasts, the force of the fingertips gradually increases from light to heavy, which can be divided into three steps. First, touch the breast skin lightly, and then use medium force to press the breast. Finally, check hard enough to feel your ribs. 》》 Reasons why breasts feel lumpy

　　Then, lie on your back. Bend your right elbow and place your arm on the side of your head. Begin examining the inner part of your right breast with your left hand. The method is the same as for the outer part, ranging from the nipple to the center of the chest and from the collarbone to the bottom edge of the bra. Then check the upper and lower parts of the clavicle. Pay attention to whether there are swollen lymph nodes. If a mass is found, pay attention to its location, number, size, texture, whether it is tender, and the movement of the mass. Finally, check the armpit for swollen lymph nodes, starting from the center of the armpit, along the periphery of the armpit, from the bottom of the arm to the chest and the top and outside of the arm.
