Self-diagnosis method for breast cancer

The diagnosis of common breast cancer is not difficult, but breast cancer without typical signs and early breast cancer often occur due to lack of awareness, missed diagnosis, and misdiagnosis. Therefore, self-examination, detailed medical history, careful clinical examination, and multidisciplinary auxiliary examinations are necessary.

The most common reason for failure to do a breast self-examination is failure to follow the steps of the examination. Many women may have significant anxiety about breast self-examination or examination by a doctor. Not doing a breast examination is not due to neglect or indifference. The author has noted in a small group of patients that it is more common for women who have previously had breast cancer to not do a breast self-examination. For many who are reluctant to be examined, they can be persuaded to do this examination in the shower. At this time, using fingers to examine the skin can reduce friction and will reveal some very small lumps. Some women with large breasts only examine the upper part of the breast and do not pass their hands over the lower part of the breast. Breast self-examination should be started around the age of 20, but it is rarely done because girls in this age group do not often see a doctor or participate in recommended health examinations. No one teaches young girls how to do a breast self-examination because girls in this age group do not often see a doctor or participate in recommended health examinations. No one teaches young girls how to do a breast self-examination. Girls in their teens may find breast nodules. By the age of 30, almost all women can find nodules in their breasts. Among young women, the degree of fear of doing breast self-examination is low. If they develop a regular self-examination habit, they will probably perform breast self-examination frequently in their daily lives. They need to be convinced that most breast nodules are benign. But the annoying nodules that need to be treated are newly appeared nodules, which feel different from other nodules and do not change with the menstrual cycle. Being familiar with the situation obtained during repeated breast examinations is conducive to judging the changes in breast nodules.
