Breast Self-Exam (BSE)

"I promise to check because I choose to protect"
Early detection is crucial.
Breast Self-Exam is a simple yet powerful monthly check you do on your own to help you to become familiar with the normal look and feel of your breasts. This empowers you to quickly spot unusual breast changes - lumps, changes in size or shape of breasts, or skin changes - that may be early signs of breast cancer, when treatment is most effective.
BSE takes just a few minutes every month and is to be done at home.
It’s simple, free, and puts the power of early detection in your own hands thus making it a very powerful habit - BSE once a month.
When to check?
Every month!
The best time to do a Breast Self-Exam is once a month, about 7–10 days after your period starts, when your breasts are least likely to be swollen or tender. If you don’t get periods (due to menopause or other reasons), choose a fixed date each month that’s easy to remember
Important
A Breast Self-Exam doesn't replace a clinical breast examination done by a healthcare professional.
It also doesn't replace a screening mammogram.
In case of an unusual finding during BSE, get in touch with your healthcare provider immediately for any further investigation
