So I know a few things about breast exams. I know you're supposed to do them at the same time in your cycle each month because your breasts change throughout your cycle. And I know the general motion and technique.
But I don't really know what I'm doing at all. I was in the gyno a few weeks ago and she was checkin em out, feelin me up like they do, and told me I have dense breast tissue. She had me feel, and yes, I agree, they feel dense and lumpy. They've always felt like that. Which leads me to the question: How will I know when I have a lump? She told me that I should do self-checks often because I'll know the "terrain" better than a doctor would. But I really just don't know what I'm supposed to feel. It just always feels lumpy.
Any hints?
