Breast Health
Self breast examination: will I know if something is abnormal?
If you feel a lump that stands out as different from the rest of your breast tissue, you should slowly and carefully examine it. and compare it to the other breast.
If both breasts feel the same, the lumpiness is probably normal.
As you become familiar with your breasts by doing breast self-examinations each month, you should be able to tell the difference between your normal lumpiness and what may be a change. Ask your health care provider to teach you how to do a breast self-exam to make sure you are doing it correctly and thoroughly.
