Do you have breast cancer? This is how you can check at home in 2 minutes

The most common cancer among women in India is breast cancer. According to experts, the death rate is also highest due to breast cancer. Therefore, every woman should make it a habit to check herself for breast cancer once a month.

If your age is more than 35 years, then do this test every month after the end of periods. At this time the breast tissues are soft and it is easy to identify any lump or change.

To check breast cancer at home, stand in front of a mirror and look at your breasts carefully. At this time, notice whether there is any change in the shape or size of the breast or whether any stretch or shrinkage is felt on the skin.

Apart from this, see whether the breast nipples are turning inwards or whether the texture like orange peel is appearing on the breast skin. All these can be signs of breast cancer.

To check for breast cancer, feel the breast with light pressure in a circular motion with the tips of your fingers. If you feel lump, swelling or pain in the breast, contact the doctor immediately.

Apart from this, you can easily check for breast cancer even while bathing. While bathing, you can feel a lump or unusual bulge on the breast with your hands.

If you notice any kind of lump, swelling, pain or discharge from the nipple in your breast or armpit, do not take it lightly. This can also be an early symptom of breast cancer.

If you feel any change during the test at home, then you should immediately consult a doctor because breast cancer can be prevented only with early detection.
