First, draw a visual inspection. Undress to the waist, stand in front of the mirror with your hands down along the body, then raise your arms above your head and carefully inspect the breasts. They must be identical in size and symmetrical in form and location.
What should be alerted: an increase of one of them for a period not exceeding two months, the appearance of bumps or dimples on some site, redness or swelling, skin changes ("goose bumps", "lemon crust," the appearance of suspicious spots and rashes, wrinkled and ulceration), changes in the nipple, its deviation to the side, sores or discharge from the nipple.
The next stage of self-examination - feeling breasts, first standing, then - lying on his back. Examine the right hand the left chest and left arm - right.
Standing, with the palm of your fingers tightly serried spend on the upper chest from the clavicle to the lower edge of the ribs, mildly pushing on the muscles. Then carefully examine the maxillae for enlarged lymph nodes.
After that, lying on his back on a hard flat surface (not involved in this hand can be put along the trunk or head), inspect the chest from the periphery to the center - the nipple, gradually probing all departments. One way - the spiral palpation when chest muscles examined in the form of movements of the fingers in a circle, starting from the armpit, and gradually tapering to the nipple.
What should be alerted: seals, which are felt under the fingers in a "ball" or "cakes," hypodermic hollow.
What else should I look? Carefully inspect the teats: if there are changes in color, shape, cracks. Carefully feel the nipple and he area, try a little squeeze the nipple , noting the presence and nature of the discharge from, or lack thereof. Be sure to inspect the bra - it for any signs of discharge from the nipple. Sometimes they are so small that at the nipple can not see them, but the stains on the clothes will be given their availability. Carefully feel as axillary and supraclavicular region, to check whether there are seals.
If you find yourself at least one of the above signs of possible illness - at once hurry to the doctor. Self-examination in any case does not replace professional advice!
A comprehensive medical check-up includes clinical examination and medical history, mammography, ultrasound. If you find any abnormalities under further investigation.
Why there is breast cancer? Science does not have an exact answer to this question, but highlighted the risk factors that increase the likelihood of developing the disease:
- Early onset of menstruation (before age 12);
- Trauma of breast cancer;
- Frequent stress and nervous shock;
- Delay of sexual debut;
- Late deliveries;
- Frequent abortions;
- Overweight;
- Late onset of menopause ;
- A history of ovarian cancer or endometrial cancer.
Particular care should be taken to their health for women who have suffered from some of the relatives with breast cancer because they may be 2-3 times increased susceptibility to the disease.
And remember: the myth of the incurability of breast cancer - only a myth. In the first stage of the disease, when not yet developed metastases, treatment success is 95%. Now advances in medicine can save or even prolong life with the help of chemotherapy, surgery and other methods used in a comprehensive and timely manner. Regardless of age do not forget to pass an annual examination by specialized physicians in the clinic. Better to follow in his youth to his chest, suddenly remember what is too late ...
