BREAST TLC: What is a clinical breast exam?

Ev

Your annual well-woman exam should include a clinical breast exam. This is a physical exam similar to what you’ve been doing when you practice breast self-awareness, but with an expert touch!

A clinical breast exam should be:

  1. Thorough!

  2. Cover all breast tissue

  3. Last several minutes

If they offer this exam to you, definitely say yes! If they don’t bring it up, make sure you do.
