Hands drooping in front of the mirror, carefully observe whether the size of both sides of the breast is symmetrical, whether there is abnormal protrusion, whether there is depression or eczema in the skin and nipple.
Step 2 touch
Put your left hand behind your head and check your left chest with your right hand. Gently press the breast with your fingertips to see if there is a lump. Check clockwise from the nipple and gradually outward (about three or four times) until all the breasts are checked. Check the right breast in the same way.
Step 3 lie down
Lie flat, put a pillow on your left shoulder, bend your right hand under your head, and repeat the "touch" method to check both breasts.
4. Twist
In addition to the breast, it is also necessary to check whether there is lymph node enlargement or mass under the armpit. Finally, press and twist the nipple with your thumb and forefinger, and pay attention to whether there is abnormal secretion.
Ps: The best time for breast self-examination is the 9th ~11day after monthly menstrual cramps (the first day of menstruation is called menstrual cramps). (9 ~ 1 1 day after menstruation, at this time, estrogen has the least influence on the breast, and the breast is in a relatively static state, so it is easy to find lesions. )
If you find these symptoms, please consult your doctor in time.
1, breast edema, breast size and shape change;
2, the shape and position of the nipple (such as nipple invagination) changes;
3. Nipple bleeding or other liquids;
4. Depression and erosion of breast skin;
5. There is a lump or any induration in the breast;
6. Any pain or discomfort. (except for some normal physical pain)
Ps: Every woman's breast shape is different, and the abnormality of breast is compared with her normal tense, so you need to know what your normal breast state is, so that you can detect the change of breast. These pains are normal, so don't panic.
1, breast pain in adolescence
It usually occurs at 9 ~ 13 years old. At this time, the girl's breasts began to develop and there was slight pain. As the breasts matured, the pain would disappear automatically.
2, premenstrual breast pain
This is due to the increase of estrogen level in premenstrual period, hyperplasia of mammary glands and edema of intermammary tissue. After the menstrual period, the above symptoms disappear.
3, breast pain during pregnancy
Some women are pregnant for about 40 days, because the estrogen level in the body changes, which makes the breast hyperplasia and breast enlargement, leading to breast pain, which can last for the whole pregnancy without treatment.
4, postpartum breast pain
3 ~ 7 days after delivery, breast often has swelling pain, induration and pain. This is mainly caused by lymphatic retention, venous filling, interstitial edema and poor mammary duct.
5, breast pain after induced abortion
After induced abortion, some women complained of breast swelling and pain, and they could feel the lump. This is because the pregnancy is suddenly interrupted and the hormone level in the body drops sharply, which makes the newly developed breasts suddenly stop growing, causing breast lumps and breast pain. Of course, breast self-examination is only a simple method of disease self-examination, and some early breast cancers can't be detected at all. More importantly, it is recommended that mothers go to the hospital for regular checkups!
