this test has made women so much alert that as an outcome more than 80% cancer lumps are found by women while examining their breasts. There are nearly three different manners in which you can examine your breasts for their normal look and feeling as well. Facing A Mirror When you are standing in front of mirror with undressed chest area you can very effectively see your over all chest area. Even if you don’t have enough time to spare for this exam you can still perform it when dressing up yourself. You should show a keen interest to this part as it is very sensitive part enhancing your feminism. You have to be very concerned because you are not just going through your breasts but you are examining them for their normal shape, appearance and feel. Look at them first to know what their normal look is and then compare them to see if there is any change in size of either one that seems you awkward. Showing a great concern toward their comparison is extremely important because a very obvious and abnormal increase in one breast size making it unusually larger than other is a sign of this cancer. Once you have satisfied yourself about the size of both look at their skin and see if there is wrinkles or some other unusual variation. Look at the texture of breast skin and areolas those are darkened part with a prominent erected part at their middle called nipple. If you find a change in texture that irritates you and seems you abnormal you should consult your doctor. Dear ladies don’t forget to check your nipples. Reason is that nipples are very important part and can develop abnormalities in them. If you feel that your nipples cause soreness than it is not normal. Look at their direction and make sure that these are not inverted or flattened. Remember if you have this position of nipples naturally then no need to be worried but if it appears to you all in sudden then you are supposed to consult a doctor. Don’t forget to squeeze your nipples so that you may see if there is any liquid coming out of them. Women with breast feeding definitely experience milk coming out of nipples that is indeed natural but those who are not breastfeeding if find any liquid discharge or some blood releasing from nipples should immediately make appointment to their GP. Breast Examination In Bed The best part of this exam is that it does not require a specific position to carry out. It can even be performed in your bed when you lie down. As you are lying down you have to feel your breasts with fingers of your hand. Like start feeling your left breast and for that put your left arm under your head and after getting easy with this position start moving fingers of right hand over this left part of your chest area. After making circular movements over this part press it with fingers to feel if there is any mass or thickened area in breast or in armpit. Put a bit firm pressure so that the tissue near chest wall can also be felt. Once you have done with left part practice same exercise with right one and make yourself maximum sure that you did not feel any lump in any part of chest area. These two different ways of self breast examination are very effective in raising your breast awareness. And remember it is the only your breast awareness that leads you in finding out any abnormal change happening to your chest area.
