How to Check For Breast Cancer

It’s important to perform a self exam to check for breast cancer every month, not just during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. These simple evaluations can save your life. To perform a self exam, first visually inspect your breasts for any changes, such as dimpling or swelling. Then, applying light pressure, squeeze and check your breasts and nipples for any lumps, hardening, discharge, or other physical changes. If you notice any of these changes in your breasts, schedule an appointment with your doctor for further screening.
