2. Before a Mirror
•With your hands firmly pressing down on your hips, check for changes in the shape, size, or skin texture of your breasts.  Then raise your arms overhead and check again.  Check nipples for any unusual discharge.

 

 

3. Lying Down
•To examine your right breast, place a pillow under your right shoulder and your right hand behind your head.
•Follow the same technique as in the shower.  With the finger pads of your left hand, examine your right breast using either the up and down line, the circle or the wedge.  Check for lumps, knots or thickenings.
