FAQ
How often and when should I do a breast self-exam?
Once a month, preferably a few days after your period. That's when your breasts are least tender and you can best feel any changes.
Is it normal for my breasts to feel lumpy?
Yes. This is due to the glandular tissue in your breasts. Your menstrual cycle can also affect how your breasts feel. Not every change is a cause for concern, which is why it's so important to know what is normal for you.
What should I look out for?
Look out for a lump or swelling in your breast or armpit, a change in size or shape, dimpling, redness or thickening of the skin, an inverted or changed nipple, discharge from the nipple and persistent pain that doesn't go away after your period.
When should I see my doctor?
As soon as you notice something new or different, or if you're worried. Contact your GP or gynaecologist. These signs don't always point to cancer, but always have them checked by a professional.
Does a self-exam replace a medical check-up?
No. A self-exam is a supplement to regular medical check-ups, not an alternative. It does help you notice changes early, and early detection improves the chance of recovery.
