How to Do a Self Breast Exam
contributed by Catie Gosselin
Lying down
1. Place a pillow under your right shoulder and your right hand under
your head.
2. Check the breast tissue using a circular, rubbing motion without
lifting the fingers.
3. Vary pressure of your fingers to examine the different layers of
breast tissue.
light pressure : enough to move the skin, but not the underlying layers
medium pressure : checks the mid-layer of tissue
deep pressure : press almost to the ribs, just short of causing
discomfort
4. Use one of the three techniques for your examination (remember to
include the underarm tissue in your exam).
lines : start in the underarm area and lower your fingers until they are
below the breast, move back upwards toward the middle. Use this up and
down movement over the entire breast area.
circles : start at the outer edge of your breast, moving your fingers
slowly around the breast in a circle. Examine the breast in smaller and
smaller circles, moving toward the nipple.
wedges : at the outer edge of the breast, move your fingers toward the
nipple and back to the edge in a V shape motion. Perform the same
movement around the entire breast.
Standing in the Shower (follow the same techniques outlined
above)
Mirror Exam
1. With arms lowered to your sides, look for any dimpling, puckering or
other abnormality.
2. Look for any discharge from both nipples.
