Although breast self exams are not recommended as a screening tool for breast cancer, becoming familiar with the way your breasts normally look and feel is important. If you feel or see any change in your breasts or underarms, ask your health care provider to examine the area. Breast self examinations should not replace regular clinical breast examinations by a doctor and mammograms.
