It is most important to correctly examine each breast. Use the flat of the hand & gently press against breast tissue moving the hand in a slow circular motion. Using the fingers, press below the nipple in a lifting motion. This will uncover any lumps behind the nipple. Raise 1 hand & place it on the back of the head. This will stretch the breast tissues & aid in the detection of lumps.
