What to Look For

• Changes in size of the breast.
• Change in outline (flattening).
• Any change in the position of the nipple.
• Any obvious lumps or thickening.
• Veins that stand out more than usual.
• Blood or discharge through the nipple.
• Any change in sensation - particularly if it is new and one sided (e.g. tingling).
• Anything different from your nomral appearance.

Should you notice any of the above or have any cause for concern you should talk to your GP and do not delay in getting any concern checked out.
