Explanation: 1. Checking breasts in a circular manner, feeling all parts of the breast, provides adequate palpation and possible detection of lumps. 2. A woman who knows the texture and feel of her own breasts is far more likely to detect changes that develop. 3. BSE should be performed 1 week after the start of each menstrual period because hormonal levels are lowest and allow closer examination of softer breast tissue. 4. BSE should be performed monthly, on the same day each month, during menopause. 5. The breasts should be inspected while standing with arms at sides. |
