How do I detect breast cancer early? The best way to detect lumps in the breast is to do three things:Have mammograms regularly, usually every year or two years beginning at age 40. Have your doctor check your breasts. Doing a self breast exam every month.<br /> <center> <script type="text/javascript"> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> </center><br /> Doing all these things will help you more likely to detect cancer as early as possible. Finding breast cancer early makes treatment much easier and more effective.<br /> <p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" style="vertical-align: middle;" src="http://www.photofest.org/2002/images/bigpix/mouratidi.jpg" alt="" width="187" height="241" /></p><br /> What is a mammogram? - A mammogram is the most efficient way to detect breast cancer early, up to two years before the lump is big enough to feel. A mammogram is a special x-ray of your breasts. The amount of radiation emitted by X-rays of this radiography is very small and not harmful. Mammograms detect cancer because cancer is denser and thicker-i.e. that the normal breast. A radiologist will look at the x-ray to see if it shows signs of cancer or other breast problems.<br /> <br /> What happens during a mammogram? Your breast will rest on a flat surface and the x-ray machine will begin to slowly compress your breast until you feel pressure. This pressure is needed to expand the womb so that it can take X-rays better. The x-ray takes only one to two minutes and the whole process usually takes no more than 20 minutes.<br /> <br /> Do mammograms hurt? Mammograms can be uncomfortable. But it does not take much time. You may notice that planning mammogram shortly after your period will be less uncomfortable. Maybe your breasts are less sensitive to touch at this time.<br /> <br /> How often should I get a mammogram? Women age 50 and older should have a mammogram every 2 years. If you have risk factors for breast cancer, such as someone in your family with breast cancer, your doctor may want you to have mammograms more often.<br /> <br /> How often should my doctor check my breasts? Every year or every two years starting at age 20. Talk to your doctor when it is time to check your breasts.<br /> <br /> How often should I check my breasts? You should check your breasts every month beginning at the age of 20. During this early age, any small lumps are probably normal mammary glands and ducts. Over time, you will get used to knowing how your breasts feel normally, so that you may detect if you get a new lump.<br /> <p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" style="vertical-align: middle;" src="http://www.wetv.com/photo-galleries/shop-for-the-cure/Kristin-Kahle.reversecropped.jpg" alt="" width="265" height="183" /></p><br /> Check your breasts a few days after your period ends, when your breasts are not so sensitive. If you do not have periods, or if it comes at different times, check your breasts at the same time each month. How do I check if I have lumps? Begin by standing in front of a mirror. Look at your breasts. Feel then on each side to see if there are any abnormalities. Then you repeat the process by lying on the bed. </div> </div> </div> <p class="pagination" style="margin-left: 12px;"><a href="http://w-cancer.com/cancer-articles" title="Cancer articles">Back to
