It is important for women of all ages to conduct a breast self-exam at least once a month.
Familiarize yourself with the look and feel of your breasts to detect any changes.
A breast self-exam can be performed lying down, standing up facing a mirror or in the shower.
Use your fingers to check for lumps or thickness in breast and armpits.
Use small circular motions moving from outside to centre.
If you find something abnormal, check with your doctor immediately.
Early detection makes breast cancer treatable and curable.
