In the present world the ratio of breast aware women is increasing gradually because women have realized the importance of being aware now due to the different campaigns and significant role of social media to make the women aware of its importance.
There are many ways to enlighten breast awareness if a woman is determined to do so, but the basic requirement is to stay in touch with breasts on regular basis whether using a single method or a good combination of two or methods.
Self Breast Examination
Self breast examination is one of the best ways to stay in touch with breasts; however it is personal decision of a woman whether to do it or not but it’s for the betterment of women because it increases the awareness and women become familiar of the normal structure and salient features of breasts like the normal size and shape of breasts, what is the type of skin, how the breasts feel normally, what is the normal temperature of breasts etc. Self examination is divided into two steps
- Visual examination
- Tactile examination
The reason to divide it into two steps is to catch the abnormal changes of both types one that affects the overall appearance of breasts and the other that affects the structure of breast. It is physical examination and laboratory tests are not included so if it is performed in conjunction with the clinical examination and breast cancer screening the chances of early detection increase.
