      How to perform a breast examination at home?

      1. Start with a visual inspection in front of the mirror.

      2. Raise your arms high overhead and look for any changes in the shape, size, and asymmetry. Watch out for any swelling, dimpling or puckering of the skin, or changes in the nipples. There can be a minor difference between the right and the left breast, but anything major needs to be evaluated by a professional.

      3. Next, go for tactile or the touch and feel examination:  During the standing examination, move your finger pads around the entire breast in a circular pattern starting from the outside reaching towards the center, checking the complete breast and armpit area.
