Once monthly: Breast self awareness is advised to all women over 20 yrs of age. This means looking for any changes from your normal feel and appreance of your breasts. Breast self examination means felling for any lumps in your breast. Both these methods allow women to notice if there is any change and seek medical attention. It is best done immediately after your menses have stopped followin each monthly cycle.
