The best time to perform a self-exam is about one week after your period ends. If you do not have regular periods, perform a self-exam on the same day every month.

1) Stand in front of a mirror. Compare the two breasts, observe the shape and size. It is not unusual for one breast to be larger than the other. Check for unusual signs such as discharge from nipples, puckering, dimpling, scaling of skin, or change in size or shape.

3) Raise your left arm. Using the pads of three fingers of your right hand, feel your left breast firmly, carefully and slowly.

5) Gently squeeze the nipple and check for any discharge.

6) Repeat steps 3, 4 and 5 on your right breast.

7) Repeat steps 3 and 4 on both breasts while lying down. You should lie flat on your back; place your arm over your head and a pillow or a folded towel under the shoulder of the breast that you are going to examine. This position flattens the breast and makes it easier to check.

2) Look for the same things with your arms in different positions.

4) Begin at the outer edge, pressing in small circles moving slowly around the breast. Different search patterns for breast self examination are illustrated here. Regardless of which search pattern you use, be sure to cover the entire breast. Also be certain to examine your armpit to the collar bone and below your breast.

8) If you experience any problem, call doctor.
