A 12 times a year self check breast routine could save your life 🎗️
Set a time each month, or a time during your cycle - if you are still menstruating - to do your self-check! Breasts change during the cycle. This will make it easier to find changes that are not hormone related. This is what you do:
👉 Observe your breasts in the mirror, first with hands on the hips, then with hands raised over head. Check for differences, lumps and color changes.
👉 Time to feel for changes. One time standing up, one time laying down. In small circular motions, and a firm touch. Cover the whole breast area, including your armpits and look for changes.
👉 If you find something, it is recommended to let a few days pass. It might be related to your cycle. It didn’t disappear? Call your healthcare provider and get it checked.
Remember - don’t miss your scheduled mammography! And spread the word: Tell a friend or a loved one about checking their breasts.
