Research in Nigeria shows that women who do monthly breast self-exams are more likely to find smaller lumps (< 2 cm) early. Yet only about 17% practice it regularly. Quick Breast Self-Exam (5 minutes) Best time: A few days after your period ends. Steps: Mirror check: Arms at sides, then raised, then hands on hips. Look for changes in skin texture, nipple appearance. Feel (lying down or in shower): Use pads of 3 middle fingers in small circles with light, medium, and firm pressure. Cover entire breast + armpit. Squeeze nipple for discharge. Switch sides. Learn what’s normal for you. Report any changes to a doctor promptly. Breast self-exam supports early detection, especially where screening is limited. Know your body. Protect your life. #BreastSelfExam #EarlyDetection #KnowYourBody #BreastCancerAwareness #GeneteckInnovation
