Breast self-exams are a way for women to become familiar with the look and feel of their breasts, although they are not as effective as routine mammograms in detecting cancer. While many breast changes detected during self-exams have benign causes, some may signal breast cancer. It is important to seek prompt medical evaluation for any new or unusual breast lump, nipple discharge, or breast pain. Mammograms can help determine the cause of a breast lump, and early detection through routine screenings is crucial for reducing breast cancer deaths.
