I am now in my blooming thirties. I would want to live long and free my self from any worries, from love life to health. As I access on how I must take care of my self, I immediately though of breast self-examination. At this age, I still do not know how to properly do it. BSE is known to prevent breast cancers in women. Feeling your breast and knowing exactly how it is, would ease worries and even cut cost on medical examinations. Annual mammograms would not be enough to detect lumps, BSE is still the best and the cheapest way to take care of your breast.
Exactly when I thought of BSE, I opened my computer and browsed instructions on breast self-examination. I have found a website with informative articles and videos. As I finished downloading the video, I played it and follow what it says. The website said that BSE is an easy monthly routine. Watching over the video, I lay myself down placing my right hand at the back of my head, over a pillow behind my right shoulder. The video instructed me to follow it to flatten my right breast. My left hand, using the pads of my three middle fingers, video asked me to move my fingers in circles over my breast and armpit area. And instruct me to do the same with my left breast. While I am doing what the video said, it feels pesky touching my breast tissues within. I feel like I do not know what I am looking for. I feel small mass of tissues that seems to be normal. I faced a mirror and everything seems right. I thank God nothing seems to be wrong, but still I am skeptical if I have done it right. This is the same reason why I still don’t know how to conduct BSE.
