So, the best time to do a self breast exam is three to five days after your period ends.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also best to do your breast exam right after your annual physi\u00adcal. Since your doctor would likely have felt anything abnormal during your visit, you&#8217;ll know that what you&#8217;re feeling should be the\u00a0normal, healthy state of your breasts.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Three Ways To Check Your Breasts<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>1.\u00a0<\/strong>Lie down with a pillow under your right shoulder and your right hand under your head. Using your left hand, move in small circles all around your right breast and out to\u00adward (and under) your armpit. Vary the pressure you use in order to feel everything from the surface of your breast all the way down to your ribs. Then, switch sides and repeat the process on your left breast.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.\u00a0<\/strong>Stand with your arms at your sides in front of a mirror in a well-lit room. Look for any dimpling, bumps, redness, or changes in breast shape or symmetry. Repeat with your arms overhead, again with your hands pressing firmly on your hips and your chest muscles flexed, and once more bending forward.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.<\/strong> In the shower, soap up your hands well. Raise your right arm over your head and check your right breast using the same technique as in the lying-down method. (Use flat fingers.) Switch arms, and repeat on your left breast.<\/p>\n<p>Though cancer may be better detected during mammograms and doctor&#8217;s visits, it&#8217;s important that women are familiar with how their breasts normally look and feel so that they&#8217;re better able to identify any changes.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Diggin\u2019 What\u2019s Good?
