Fast facts list: Breast self awareness

[00:00:00] Okay, the term breast self-awareness, that's what we're gonna talk about day two of fast factor five days. So breast self-awareness, self breast exam, self breast awareness. These are different acronyms to imply, not that you have to do some major detailed exam where you're really getting to know every single thing about every part of your breast, but that in general, you want to know your breast. 

So if you're a human with breasts, the ideal time, if you're a menstruating human, you would be. Once a month right after your period is finished, if you're on the birth control pill, the first day of your birth control pill pack coincides with that. If you no longer get your period, just pick the first of the month, like maybe every, you know, first of the month, like March 1st will be coming up. 

What, how do you do it? You basically, and I say to patients with a little bit of soap in your, on your hand in the shower, to me, is the easiest. But anytime you think you'll remember it, feel inside your armpit because you have breast tissue in there. Make circles around. Superficial and then deeply and all the way around cuz you just wanna get to know them so that then if something comes up that is different, you can calmly say to your practitioner, something is different. 

I know it's likely nothing, but please help me decide why or when I should be worried. That's it.[00:01:00]
