Self-examination

Many breast abnormalities are first detected by women themselves through regular self-examination. At BreastHealth UK we actively promote monthly self-examination as it plays an important part in the early detection of any problems which may or may not lead to more serious health issues.

Our short video guide will help you to undertake a self-examination with complete confidence and highlights the correct techniques and tell tale signs for any underlying problems.

Please refer to our video guide frequently to ensure you are using the correct techniques.

Monthly alert service

As many women lead busy lives, remembering to self-exam at a certain time of the month is not always a top priority. At BreastHealth UK we have introduced a new service to send you a monthly alert by email or SMS text message direct to your mobile to remind you of the optimum time to conduct your self-examination.

It’s simple to join up. Please enter the first day of your last period below. If you are post menopausal you can insert whatever date you want.

If you would like a free reminder by email please complete your email address below.

If you prefer to receive an SMS message to your mobile, please enter your mobile number below. This only applies for UK mobile numbers.



(Please note your phone provider may charge you to receive a SMS text message).

If you have concerns please contact your GP or BreastHealth UK on 0800 085 6616
