MEN’S BREAST CANCER

Your Self chec Keeping Healthy Guide

As hard as it might be to believe, men can get breast cancer, too. Make it a monthly habit to check your breasts for any lumps, especially after age 40.

Self chec thinks it’s important for you to know what a breast self-check looks like and has included a written guide as well as a copy of the woman’s video breast check. It’s easier for a man to check his breasts than a woman. Try to get into the habit of touching each breast once a month at the same time you do your Testicular-Self check. Do this by using light, medium and firm pressure with the inner pads of your three middle fingers. If you’d like a more detailed description of more actions to take click here.

Quick Tip: If you have a history of breast cancer (female or male) in your family, ask your doctor about getting a mammogram.

What to do
Beginning at age 40, do a monthly Breast Self-check at the same time you do your Testicular Self- check. By touching your breasts monthly, you will notice any changes that may take place.

Check for:
Abnormal lumps or swelling in either the breast, nipple, or chest muscle
Skin dimpling or puckering
Nipple retraction (turning inward)
Redness or scaliness of the nipple or breast
Nipple discharge

IMPORTANT: The information on the cancer pages of this site was culled by the director of Self chec and initially reviewed by the folks at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, based on the newest information from the national cancer advisory organizations, including, but not limited to, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force and American Cancer Society. We recognize that the national cancer advisory organizations sometimes do not agree about specific cancer guidelines, often making it confusing to the public about what to do. That is why we are asking you to err on the side of caution by always consulting a healthcare professional to advise you in the healthy choices you will make. Thank you.
