Explain about breat self Examination and Early diagonosis of Cancer.

Explanation

Breast self examination and early diagnosis of cancer.
(i) Breat is divided into 4 quadrants and the center (Nipple) which is the 5th qudadrant.
(ii) Each quadrant of the breast is felt for lumps using the palm of the opposite hand.
(iii) The examination is done in both lying down and standing positions, monthly once after the 1st week of menstrual cycle.
This way if there are lumps or any deviation of the nipple to one side or any blood discharge from the nipple we can identify cancer at an early stage. Mammograms are done for women above the age of 40 years and for young girls and women below 40 years. Ultrasound of the breast aids in early diagnosis.
