About the breast diseases prevention
Self-examination

The majority of women notice alterations in their breasts themselves. All the women should monthly examine their breasts themselves. The following aspects should be considered:
appearance of infiltrations in the breasts;
alteration of the color of the kin, appearance of ulcers, alteration of the size and shape of the breasts, appearance of excretions (liquid) from the nipples.
If, while self-examining your breasts, you find the infiltration, swelling, unevenness, roughness in the breast or knots in the armpits, hollows in the breast nipple(s), excretion from the nipple, altered skin of the breast, resembling the lemon‘s peel or ulceration, you should not wait and consult the doctor.
The most suitable time for examining of the breasts is immediately after the menstruation because at that time the breasts are the softest.
