Performing breast self examination (BSE) on a monthly basis gives
you the opportunity to detect breast
cancer. A woman who regularly perform BSE can detect breast cancer at its
earlier stage. It is best carried out once a month before the menstrual period.
BSE is recommended for ever women from age 20. Self examination is done in two
ways: inspection and feeling the breasts
Method of breast examination
Look into a mirror, undresses to the waist. Study the breasts and become familiar
with their normal appearance. Look at the skin texture, height and appearance
of the nipples etc. Check for any unusual difference.
Look
at each breast for any unusual irregularity in shape, drawing in or retraction
of the nipple, dimpling of the skin, changes in skin colour or texture, or veins
more prominent than normal. This should be done with the arms in different position:
By the side hand on the waist arms raised above the head
Hands clasped around the
head
Squeeze each nipple gently to check for any bleeding or unusual
discharge
Checking
the breasts by touch is carried out while standing up and /or lying down. It may
be done in bath or shower when the skin is wet. Raise the right arm and use the
left hand to explore the right breast in a clockwise motion. With the fingers
flat, feel the breast for any
unusual lump, knot, mass, thickening, tenderness or other change. Repeat for other
breast. Examine the nipple in similar manner.
e.
Feel in each armpit
for any enlarged Lymph nodes. Hold the left arm by the side and slide the right
hand into the armpit and on down the ribs. Repeat on the other side using
the left hand with the right arm by the side

Last here months back, I feel itchiness in my penis when intercourse with my wife. After one month I have seen rash in my penis head. First time it is itching but now it is silence.
What is the best solution for me?
It seems there was a bing hole in my right ear drum and I had a mild earing loss (conductive losses). As advised by the ENT Surgeon, I underwent CT scan too. He suggested me to undergo surgery by which my mastoid bone has to be open and all infection there has to be removed. I had the hole in the ear drum for the past 25 years and so far I had no problem except mild hearing loss. No ear discharge for the past 15 years. Even earlier also I used to have ear discharge very rarely. ENT surgeon suggested me to undergo the surgery what is called Mastoidectomy. I unable to take a call whether I should undergo surgery now or postpone to a time when I notice any further problem. I would like to know whether the problem gets aggravated if I do not undergo surgery. Whether it prevents further deterioation and improves the hearing? Kindly advise.
Ans:
hi babu, as u told that you have a hole in your ear drum, which is a connection between the external and the middle ear, thus making the middle ear prone to repeated infections. middle ear infections can become very severe when they become chronic which can also lead to permanent and conductive hearing loss. so it is advisable for you to not to wait and undergo mastoidectomy. gud luck.
