Healthy Breasts

The way we feel about our breasts often influences how we feel about our own body image and hence ourselves.

There is no perfect breast shape or size, and it is important for women to become familiar with the normal look, feeland shape of their breasts so they will notice any abnormal changes.

Many women choose a monthly breast self examination (BSE) technique. Others take a more 'ad hoc' approach. Many factors can cause changes in your breasts. The most common are hormonal changes related to your period, pregnancy or menopause, and changes due to ageing.
