Anybody know how to do self checking breast ownself, kindly please help or guide or teach me how to do. Any website or pictures to show too.

Lately I experience slight pain on my left breast, stop BF to my boy (4 years old) last year.

Nowadays I sleep facing right hand side or facing the ceiling to avoid the pain. I dont wear bra at home except going out or to work. Only wear when got visitors coming. I stay with my hubby, 4 years old & mother inlaw.

Stop my hubby fonlding or sucking my breast during ML. Even sometimes when he on top of, slight pain too.

Please shared.

better get consult with doctor.

Try lying facing top, raise you left arm, and check your left side.
(Do the same for right side)
Clockwise or counter-clockwise massage, and check whether anything feeling hard or painful. If your case still happening after 1 week, or not cause by period, better check with doctor.

Hi,

My recommendation is that instead of trying to self-examine, for a patient like you that already have a symptoms - better to consult medical personnel ASAP.

Self-breast examination are suggested to woman to perform from time to time, not especially when the symptom arise.

Regards.

If the pain has been going on for some time, it's high time you see your doctor.

lately only the pain, not sure how it starter.

dont feel comfortable see doctor as my regular doctor I see is a male.

Just a guess, but i would bet that youtube have some self help video on this

your doctor have seen many breast in his life...no worries ..its just his job

yes.

my dear accompany me see my regular doctor already, he cannot find the reasons, nothing wrong but I still feel slight pain when he check or touch my breast, his advice, better see specialist doctor.

You went to a clinic? Go straight to a gynae.

Did you feel pain ON the breast part OR the organ underlying the breast? Eg, can be heart..

do you know your current BP? do you have family member (your side) who have heart diseases?

When you pain come start? During exe or even sitting and resting also having pain? Got spread to other part beside you breast OR you breast only? Any factor make it worst? You lifestyle being affected by the pain or not?

my advice will go to O and G...

pain on my side breast, my mother & sister got this problems, mother & sister 1 breast cut before, now my sister struggle to save another 1, stage 3 already, so I scared I might have this problems too, been a month already this pain, pain if press on it, even when my dear hug me that time, pain too.

Did you tell this to your doctor last you see him? Its am important point.
did you made appointment for mammogram? you have to sure you HAVE a definite answer from certified O and G specialist.
No worry. Everything will be fine and I am sure you will get your family support.

I already tell my regular doctor my problems, he cannot find anything wrong, he only checking N pressing or touching N comparing with my right side breast, that's it. luckily my dear accompany me, on the way back home, my dear ask me, is he really know how to check or is he having fun, I don't think so, but felt abit pain when he doing that time.

Appointment this coming Friday morning with my regular gynae.

Start here... at the end of the day... best if you go for professional advice if you are concern.

He is doing correctly. Standard basic chacking. No worry.

You need to see a General Surgeon right away. Your O&G is not specialised in this field. Since you have family members with a history of breast lumps you must go and have it checked without further delay.

The GS will send you for a mammogram or a scan and if a lump is detected he will get it out and send it for biopsy.

Good luck dear!

Sometime I do feel pain on my left breast too. but so far I ignore it as it might be due to my intake of estrogenic drugs.
