Breast Cancer Symptoms: Early signs young women need to pay attention to
Self-breast examination (SBE) is a simple yet important technique that women can perform regularly to detect any changes in their breast tissue. It involves a systematic examination of the breasts to look and feel for any abnormalities, such as lumps, thickening, or changes in size or shape.
To perform it effectively, start by standing in front of a mirror with your arms relaxed at your sides and visually inspect both breasts for any changes in skin texture, nipple position, or swelling. Next, raise one arm and use the opposite hand to gently palpate the breast tissue in a circular motion, covering the entire breast and armpit area. Pay attention to any areas that feel different from the surrounding tissue or are tender.
