When is the best time to do a breast self-exam?

The best time to examine your breasts is at the end of your period, when your breasts usually aren’t tender or swollen. Every woman over age 20 should conduct a self-exam every month to check for lumps, thickening, dimpling of the skin, or any unusual discharge from the nipple. If you find anything unusual, contact us right away, so we can examine you and plan appropriate care.
