Breast Self Exam

By performing monthly self-examination, you should begin to learn how your breasts normally feel. If you notice any change in your nipple or skin- including redness, indentation or itchiness- you need to have this checked. Any lump that you feel might be new should be checked as well. Always check your armpits for any lumps and squeeze your nipples to see if you can express any liquid. If you can, and if the discharge is clear or bloody, you should contact your practitioner. If the discharge appears milky, cloudy, yellow or greenish, this is the normal appearance of secretions from the glands within the breast.
