Standing breast self-examination
Place your left arm over the back of your head. Use the three pads of the fingers of the right hand, massage, circular motion, light, medium and firm pressure. It is better to make different circular movements, from small to large, in each place
It is important that you do this in all areas of the breast, such as under the breasts, on the sides of the breasts and in the center of the chest. Especially the side parts, take your armpits and then check thoroughly.
Do not miss any part of the breast, and perform the examination in a grid pattern.
Using the opposite pads of your fingers to massage while you have your arm behind your head and a circular massage will help you have a sort of grid in your mind to explore.
Wedges Styles
You can visually divide your breasts into wedges. Just imagine that your breasts were a pie, and then you slice the pie. You must cut the cake at once before moving on to the next slice.
This means that when you perform a breast self-examination, you must start on one specific area of the breast, with your left arm behind your head and using the three finger pads of your right hand to make a circular motion. Don't forget to vary the size of the movements as well as the pressure. When you are done with this area, move on to the next section and continue until the entire breast area has been explored
Circular styles
Do circular styles starting at their nipple and going around their breasts getting bigger each time until the whole area was explored, it was dizzying at times.

Nipples and armpits
Try squeezing your nipple, it's part of your breast self-examination, that is, to see if there is nipple discharge. Find anything unusual, such as a rash, sore, or lump
Now examine your armpits, do it while standing. You may find lymph nodes, but don't panic, be sensitive to swollen lymph nodes if you find one that doesn't mean you have breast cancer. Someone with swollen lymph nodes for many reasons, such as the hormonal cycle, or when you are not feeling well, lymph nodes are usually in a transitional time.
Breast self-examination in the down position
There are some different from breast examination standing and lying down, some stories of women who found a lump in their breast standing up but not lying down, but that's not the point, what matters is which position is more comfortable for you and will become your routine, then when you do it, it will be much faster and more efficient.
