Breast Awareness is a Life Skill
It isn't about looking for cancer.
It’s about knowing what’s normal for you,
noticing when something changes,
& knowing when it’s time to ask for help.
Breast Self Exam (BSE)
A simple & powerful way to know your breasts
What
BSE is a simple monthly check you do on your own in the comfort of your home to help you to become familiar with the normal look and feel of your breasts.
When
BSE is to be done once a month
If you get your periods, then the best time to do a BSE is, about 7–10 days after your period starts, when your breasts are least likely to be swollen or tender.
If you don’t get your periods (due to menopause or other reasons) then choose a fixed date each month that’s easy to remember
Why
This empowers you to quickly spot unusual breast changes - lumps, changes in size or shape of breasts, or skin changes - that must be further checked by a doctor.
No changes must go unnoticed.
A Breast Self-Exam does not replace a clinical breast exam done by a doctor. It also does not replace a mammogram.
In case of any changes observed in your breast during Breast Self-Exam get in touch with your doctor immediately.
Are you ready to 'Meet your breasts' ?

Breast Self-Exam is a powerful habit
-
It's free
-
It's simple
-
It's done in the comfort of your home
-
It enables you to know your breasts and notice any changes
-
Recognize your own normal — because every breast is different, and there isn't one “correct” way breasts should look or feel. As breasts develop, they naturally change in size, shape, symmetry, tenderness and texture, especially around periods. Knowing this normal variation is important
-
Notice a change or something that is genuinely new or unusual and know when to tell a parent, doctor, or other trusted adult. Understand that changes aren't automatically cancer. Most breast changes in young people are not cancer.
