NEWSLETTER ISSUE 10 / OCTOBER 2026 WWW.HEALTHYWAY-PSI.COM WOMEN’S HEALTH MONTH Take Charge of Breast Health Breast exams such as clinical exams, breast self-exams (BSEs) and mammograms should be completed regularly so that it is possible to notice changes in breast tissue and detect breast cancer early.The American Cancer Society recommends clinical breast exams every three years for women between 20 and 40. Starting at age 40, women should have yearly mammograms. Performing Self-exams In between clinical exams and mammograms, women should complete BSEs to become familiar with the look and feel of their breasts when healthy, so that changes can be detected as early as possible. •Lie down and place one arm behind your head. •Use the pads of your fingers on the opposite hand to check your breast tissue in overlapping, dime- sized circular motions. •Use an up-and-down pattern starting at your underarm and moving all the way to the middle of your breastbone to feel for changes. •Standing with your hands on your hips, look in a mirror for changes in size, shape, contour of coloring of your breasts. Breast Tissue Changes Contact your doctor if you notice any of the following changes to your breast or nipple tissue while doing a breast self-exam: •Lumps •Dimpling, red or scaly skin •Nipple discharge or pain It is normal for breast tissue to change during menstrual cycles, pregnancy, menopause, or while taking birth control pills or other hormone therapy. However, if you notice changes at other times in your life, it is strongly suggested that you contact your doctor immediately.
