Reflect on Yourself to #DetectItYourself

admin Oct 01, 2024

Empowering Women in the Fight Against Breast Cancer

At Fortis Healthcare, we believe early detection is key in the battle against breast cancer. Our #DetectItYourself campaign is designed to empower women with the knowledge and tools to take charge of their breast health through self-examinations. By learning to perform DIY self-breast exams, you can identify any lumps or changes early on, leading to timely diagnosis and treatment.

Why Self-Examination Matters

Breast cancer can affect women of all ages, irrespective of family history or lifestyle. While routine screenings and mammograms are essential, self-examinations serve as your first line of defense. Familiarizing yourself with the normal look and feel of your breasts allows you to easily spot any unusual changes.

Understanding Self-Examination

Self-examination is a simple yet powerful tool that every woman should use. Aim to check your breasts regularly—ideally once a month—to look for abnormalities such as lumps, changes in size or shape, or unusual discharge. Incorporating self-exams into your routine helps you become more attuned to your body, making it easier to recognize when something feels different.

The Importance of Regular Self-Exams

Did you know that one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime? Early detection through self-exams significantly improves treatment outcomes. Regular self-examinations can reveal early signs of breast cancer, increasing your chances of successful treatment. By taking charge of your health, you can make a meaningful difference in your life and the lives of others.

How to Perform a Self-Examination

  1. Stand in Front of a Mirror: Look for any changes in size, shape, or skin texture. Raise your arms to see if there’s any difference in your breasts.
  2. Lying Down: Use your fingers to feel for lumps or changes in the breast tissue. Move your fingers in circular motions and cover the entire breast area.
  3. In the Shower: This is a great time to check your breasts using the same circular motions. The soap can help your fingers glide over the skin.
  4. Be Aware of Changes: If you notice any lumps, changes, or unusual signs, contact your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

Your Role in the Solution

Empowerment begins with knowledge. By regularly performing self-exams, you not only safeguard your health but also inspire others in your community to do the same. Share your experiences, encourage conversations about breast health, and participate in educational initiatives.
