Breast Health

Abstract

Breasts are subject to change. They react to hormonal changes, they can hurt, and they also react to food, lifestyle and stress. Breast health is very important and self-examination should not be missed. By palpation and self-examination of the breasts, which are heterogeneous due to cyclic exposure to hormones, it is impossible to make any diagnosis. However, self-examination of women is extremely important after menstruation when there are less physiological “bumps” than during the cycle. It is very important that women know their breasts well so that they can notice when something new appears in them. Depending on age and anamnesis, it is extremely important to go for a mammogram and compare images and perform comparative ultrasound examinations. Any new change should be discussed with doctor.
