🌸Breast Self-Awareness: A Guide to Knowing Your Body🌸

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a perfect time to remind ourselves of the importance of breast self-awareness. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you stay proactive in monitoring your health!

👉 Daily : Familiarize yourself with the normal look and feel of your breasts. Early detection can make a big difference! If you notice anything unusual like a lump or skin dimpling, consult your healthcare provider.

🚿 In the Shower: Use your three middle fingers to check the entire breast and armpit area with varying pressure. Look for any new lumps, knots, or changes in thickness.

🪞 In Front of the Mirror: Look for visual changes. Raise your arms, place your hands on your hips, and observe from different angles. Symmetry, shape, and skin texture can offer important clues.

🛏️ Lying Down: With your left hand, use your middle fingers to examine each breast, including the armpit area, with light, medium, and firm pressure. Check for anything out of the ordinary.

💖 Remember: Your body is unique, and what’s normal for one person may not be for another. These steps don’t replace professional screenings but empower you to know your body better. If anything feels off, reach out to your healthcare provider.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Early detection saves lives! Know your risk, get screened, and take action to protect your health. Let’s raise awareness, support one another, and remember—you are more than a diagnosis. 🌸
