HEALTH TIPS:
Breast Self-Examination
Follow your practitioner's instructions for proper breast self-exam and look for the following general changes:

• ​Dimpling, puckering, or bulging of the skin
• A nipple that has changed position or an inverted nipple (pushed inward instead of sticking out)
• Redness, soreness, rash, or swelling

+++
​In addition, see your gynecologist once per year.
​The American Cancer Society recommends the following:

• ​Women age 45 to 54 should get mammograms every year.
• Women 55 and older should switch to mammograms every 2 years, or can continue yearly screening.
• Screening should continue as long as a woman is in good health and is expected to live 10 more years or longer.
