Effective tips for women to perform self-breast examination

Lie flat on the floor with your right hand positioned behind your head. Use your left fingers to stroke the right breast circularly and repeat for the other. Use your fingers to create patterns around the breasts, such as circles, lines or wedges of movement that will cover all areas, including the collarbone and armpit. Stand before a mirror with arms at the sides, raised overhead, as well as hands on hips; look for changes in skin texture or shape.
