Do you do self breast exams? I personally don't but was curious as to how many women actually done them.

Question

Answer

I try at least one a week in the shower (it's easier then) but I had a tumor removed about 6 years ago. My DH & I had only been dating for 3 months when I found out. Because of the tumor, he asked me to teach him how to do the breast exam so when he's playing with them he'll also do a quick exam. ☺️ Hes the sweetest which is why I married him. Lol

Answer

Yes, when I'm nearly due on period I check then x

Answer

I should but I don't. I get checked by my doctor or the nurse practitioner at my annual checkup

Answer

My dr told me it isn't really necessary because most lumps are found by the dr, not during self-exams.

Answer

I don't because shamefully I'm not really sure how to or what to look for. I know I should as the breast cancer gene runs in my family (4 anties and 2 cousins and 1 nanna). I think it's defiantly somthing I am going to ask my GP to run through with me when I've had my baby and go for my 6 week after baby check.
