Learn how to self examine your breast today, watch the breast self-examination video:
Our breast self-examination video demonstrates how you can become familiar with your breasts and recognize changes that may need medical attention.
If you notice something unusual, don’t panic or ignore it instead have it checked by a healthcare professional at your earliest, since early detection followed by treatment can save lives. However, breast self-examination should not replace professional medical assessment or recommended breast-cancer screening.
