Breast Examination

A breast examination is an important part of routine physical checkups.

A clinical breast exam may be recommended more frequently if you have a strong family history of breast cancer.

Breast exams are best performed soon after your menstrual period ends, because your breasts will not be as tender and swollen as during your period. This makes it easier to detect any unusual changes. If you have stopped menstruating, schedule the yearly exam on a day that's easy for you to remember, such as your birth date
