Examine your breasts & #KnowYourNormal

It is important to regularly, at least once a month, feel for any changes in breast tissue that could feel like a thickening, or a hard lump. Do this lying down, in the shower or bath when your hands are wet and soapy.

With your right arm relaxed by your side, use the pads of the 3 middle fingers on your left hand to examine your right breast.

Using light pressure, then medium pressure, then firm pressure in a circular motion on your breast, follow an up and down pattern.

Now feel for any changes above and below your collarbone and in the area of your armpit.

Now repeat these steps on your left breast.
