How to conduct Breast Self Examination?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Breast self examination, popularly known as BSE is a technique, which allows a woman to recognise the visible or physical changes in her breasts. This examination plays an important role in recognising factors, which can cause harm to your breast and body health.<\/p>\n

BEFORE LOOKING AT THE STEPS, SOME TIPS, WHICH ARE AS HELPFUL AS BSE<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  • BSE should be done every month after your menstrual cycle ends.<\/li>\n
  • In case of pregnancy, menopause or irregular menstrual cycle, a specific date of the month should be chosen for the examination.<\/li>\n
  • In case, you do notice a lump, then please do not panic. Seeing the doctor for a proper evaluation should be your next step. Always remember that not all lumps are harmful.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    WHAT ARE THE STEPS TO SELF-EXAMINE YOUR BREASTS?<\/h2>\n

    Step 1:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

        \n
      • Check for changes like colour, size and shape.<\/li>\n
      • If you observe any of the following changes, consult a doctor immediately:<\/li>\n
      • Puckering, bulging and dimpling of the skin.<\/li>\n
      • Change position of the nipple or inverted ones (remember your nipples should be puckered up not pushed fully inside)<\/li>\n
      • Any swelling, redness, soreness and rash breakouts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Step 2:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

        Next just repeat the same steps with your arms raised above your head.<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Rest your other arm on your forehead to ensure that your breast should be flat to your chest. If you want to comfortable then just put a pillow under your shoulder or back.<\/li>\n
        • Now, using the flat tips of your fingers press in circular motions on the side, middle and underside. The intensity should first be light, then medium and deep motion.<\/li>\n
        • Check for any lumps or puckering of the skin. If any then report the same thing to the doctor.<\/li>\n
        • Repeat the same steps on your left breast.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Step 4:<\/strong><\/h3>\n
