Breasts are symbols of femininity and nothing is morebeautiful than healthy breasts. Woman must look after the health of theirbreasts and what better manner than to pamper them regularly:
Self- examination of your breasts is imperative. Do it inthe shower, in the bath or while applying body cream.
When the skin is wet, themovements are smoother and it becomes easier to detect any lumps orabnormalities.
Make sure that the self-examination of the breasts coincideswith your hormonal cycle. This way, you will not be fooled by changes inappearance due to fluctuations in hormones.
Make sure you know the normal consistency of your breasts tobe able to recognize changes such as bumps, size, texture, thickening, pain,redness, appearance, etc. Some women experience sensitivity just before orduring menstruation.
During examination, keep varying the positions (standing andlying). When the breast tissue moves, it allows us a more complete review.Press parts of the breast with the first three fingers, firmly but gently at atime.
Use these three easy movements to self-examine your breasts:the clock (movement heading towards the nipple), zigzag (top to bottom) and ina circle around the nipple. Make small circular motions along these imaginarylines.
It is also good practice to have a mammography test at leastonce a year and a full medical checkup on your breasts.
