Breast cancer doesn’t wait which is why it’s so important to take action now. Here is a list of the different kinds of breast exams that can help to catch cancer at its earliest stage.
Breast self-exam
Perform once per month while lying down or while looking in the mirror. Press your breasts with your fingers using light pressure. Make sure to also check your armpits with your arms raised.
Clinical breast exam
Performed by a healthcare professional like your gynecologist or your family physician, usually during an annual check-up.
Mammogram
An X-ray that shows a full picture of your breast tissue. This type of screening is important because it can show you something before you can feel it.
