Breast self-examination (BSE) means using your hands and eyes to check your breasts for anything unusual compared to your usual self. Dr. Suhani, Additional Professor, Department of Surgical Disciplines, AIIMS, New Delhi, shares that women should start BSE at 20 years of age and do it at least once a month after their periods. For women who have menopaused, picking a fixed date each month could be useful. BSE does not replace screening mammography or clinical breast examination. However, it can help women decide to seek medical consultation sooner. 🎥 Watch the full video for the five stages of BSE.
