The goal of a breast self-exam is to become familiar with your own breasts, so you know what's normal for you. Perform a breast self-exam monthly to notice any changes, such as new lumps or skin changes. This is important, but it's a supplement to, not a replacement for, clinical exams and mammograms performed by Dr. Celena APRN.
