Breast Awareness
What is breast awareness?
In Breast Cancer: Breast Cancer Awareness – Breast Awareness, Cancer Australia elaborate on:
You don’t need to be an expert or use a special technique to check your breasts. Take the time to get to know the normal look and feel of your breasts as part of everyday activities like showering, dressing, putting on body lotion or simply looking in the mirror. Knowing what is normal for you will help you to detect any new breast or nipple changes”.
Breast Changes
What are some breast changes to look for?
In Breast Cancer: Breast Cancer Awareness – Breast Awareness, Cancer Australia also explain:
- A new lump or lumpiness, especially if it’s only in one breast
- A change in the size or shape of the breast
- A change to the nipple, such as crusting, ulcer, redness or inversion
- A nipple discharge that occurs without squeezing
- A change in the skin of the breast such as redness or dimpling
- An unusual pain that doesn’t go away.
Nine out of ten breast changes aren’t due to cancer, but it’s important to see a doctor to be sure. If you find a breast change that is unusual for you, see your GP without delay”.
