Being breast aware

Every woman should be breast aware throughout her adult life. It is an important part of caring for your body.

Being breast aware means knowing how your breasts look and feel normally so that you notice any change that might be unusual for you. Detecting a change early means that if cancer is diagnosed any treatment may well have a better outcome.

Most breast changes will prove to be benign (non-cancerous) but you should always report any concern to your GP.

Men too need to be aware of any changes in their breast tissue, as approximately 250 men in the UK get breast cancer each year.


Becoming breast aware

Breast awareness is about becoming familiar with your normal breast tissue and how it changes, for example at different times of the month. Get into the habit of looking at and feeling your breasts from time to time.

One way of looking is by using a mirror so that you can see your breasts from different angles. You may find feeling your breasts is easier to do with a soapy hand in the bath or shower, or you may prefer to do it lying down. You can decide when is convenient for you and what you are comfortable with.
