What is a Breast Examination?

A breast examination is a clinical screening procedure that involves a physical examination of the breasts, checking for any lumps, abnormalities, or changes in the breast tissue and surrounding areas, including the underarms. This examination helps identify issues early, especially when combined with other screening tools like mammograms or ultrasounds, depending on age and risk factors.

Regular breast exams are recommended as part of routine health checks, especially for women over 40 or those with a family history of breast cancer. Women should also perform monthly self-examinations and consult with a healthcare provider if they notice any changes.
