Breast Self-Exam

It is very important to perfom your own breast exams. Most breast lumps that are found early are found by the patient herself during her own exam. The breast exam should be done each month and after your period if you are having monthly cycles.

If you find anything unusual on your exam, immediately make an appointment with a provider. We will evaluate your findings and order any needed tests and follow up. Here are steps on how to perfom a breast self-exam by the American Cancer Society.
