Did you know that 80% of breast tumors are discovered by women themselves?
Early detection is one of the most important factors in fighting breast cancer, and self-examination is a simple tool that can help women better understand their bodies and identify potential changes. With guidance from Dr. Ana Isabel Pedroso, a physician specializing in Intensive Care Medicine, learn how to properly perform a breast self-exam.
Breast self-examination is not a substitute for medical appointments or routine exams, such as breast ultrasounds or mammograms. These are essential for early detection and monitoring of breast health. Maintain regular follow-up with your doctor to ensure the best possible care.
Performing a self-exam once a month, preferably after your period, can help identify changes that may require medical evaluation.
Take care of yourself every month.
