What\u2019s the difference between a mammogram and a breast exam?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A breast exam involves feeling for changes on the surface of the breast, while a mammogram looks deeper using imaging. Both are part of breast cancer screening \u2014 a breast exam helps identify visible or felt changes, and a mammogram confirms what can\u2019t be seen or felt.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

How can I do a breast self-exam at home?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A breast self-exam helps you become familiar with how your breasts normally look and feel. Once a month, gently press around each breast and armpit area using the flat part of your fingers. If you find a lump in your breast, or notice any pain, redness, or nipple discharge, visit a clinic for a professional check.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

When should I get a breast exam or mammogram?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Most people benefit from a clinical breast exam once a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re 40 or older, your provider may recommend a mammogram every 1\u20132 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Book sooner if you notice any unusual changes \u2014 early detection is the best protection.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

What are the early signs of breast cancer?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A new lump or thickening in the breast or underarm, changes in breast size or shape, dimpling or puckering of the skin, nipple discharge or tenderness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • If you notice any of these, visit your nearest clinic for a breast exam or mammogram referral. Most breast changes aren\u2019t cancer \u2014 but every change deserves care.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
