Breast Self-Examination for Women

A breast self-examination (BSE) is a simple physical technique that women can use to check for skin changes or lumps and to become familiar with the normal appearance and feel of their breasts.

BSE is an essential part of breast health awareness and can help in the early detection of any changes that might indicate a potential issue, such as breast cancer.

As an essential part of breast cancer screening, BSE should be performed once a month, preferably 3 to 5 days after your period ends at the same time each month. Post-menopausal women can conduct a breast self-exam on a consistent day each month, whether it be the 1st or 15th day of the month.

It is important to note that breast self-exams complement but do not replace regular mammograms or clinical breast exams. Mammograms remain a vital component of breast health screening.
