Breast Self-Exam
If breast cancer is found early, most women can be treated with success. That is why routine breast self-exams, mammography, and checkups by your health care provider are vital. By doing a monthly breast self-exam, you learn how your breast feel. Knowing how your breasts normally feel helps you detect any changes or signs of a problem.
All women should do the exam once a month, including women who:
- Have gone through menopause
- are pregnant
- are breastfeeding
- have breast implants
The best time to do the breast self-exam is a few days after your menstrual period ends each month. Your breast are less tender or swollen at this time. If you are not having menstrual periods, try to do the exam on the same day each month.
For more information and instruction on how to do a breast self exam go to: Breast Self-Exam
January is Cervical Health Awareness Month
The Pap test checks for abnormal changes in the cells lining the cervix. This allows early treatment before the abnormal cells become cancerous. Although regular yearly gynecologic exams is recommended; how often a pap is performed depends on your age and health history. Generally, women younger than 30 years should have a Pap test every 2 years. Women aged 30 years and older may have a Pap test every 3 years, if her high risk HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) test is negative. If you have certain risk factors, you may need more frequent Pap tests.
