Know Your Normal: Why Self-Breast Exams Matter

As women, it can be easy to overlook breast health and skip regular self-exams. Because we see our bodies every day, subtle changes can go unnoticed. That’s why it’s important to take time each month to understand how your breasts normally look and feel. Since a woman’s body goes through frequent changes, being familiar with what’s normal for you can help you recognize when something is different. Simply seeing the outside of your breasts isn’t enough—regular self-exams can help you notice early signs of breast cancer.
