Breast Care

Self Examinations

Self examinations help women detect changes before potential problems arise. Self exams are increasingly more important for women who:

  • Are currently pregnant
  • Were pregnant & are now breastfeeding
  • After menopause
  • Have breast implants

Common Signs of Problems

During a self examination, it is important to look for the following signs that could indicate a potential problem.

  • Lumps
  • Skin irritation
  • Discharge
  • Unusual swelling
  • Retraction of the nipples
  • Pain & discomfort

It is important to speak to one of our doctors right away if any of these signs are present during a self examination.

Mammograms
