MEN’S BREAST CANCER
As hard as it might be to believe, men can get breast cancer, too.
Make it a monthly habit to check your breasts for any lumps, especially after age 40.
Self chec thinks it’s important for you to know what a breast self-check looks like and has included a written guide as well as a copy of the woman’s video breast check. It’s easier for a man to check his breasts than a woman. Try to get into the habit of touching each breast once a month at the same time you do your Testicular-Self check. Do this by using light, medium and firm pressure with the inner pads of your three middle fingers.
Quick Tip: If you have a history of breast cancer (female or male) in your family, ask your doctor about getting a mammogram.
What to do
Beginning at age 40, do a monthly Breast Self-check at the same time you do your Testicular Self- check. By touching your breasts monthly, you will notice any changes that may take place.
Check for:
✓ Abnormal lumps or swelling in either the breast, nipple, or chest muscle
✓ Skin dimpling or puckering
✓ Nipple retraction (turning inward)
✓ Redness or scaliness of the nipple or breast
✓ Nipple discharge
