How Often Should You Screen Your Breasts?

Often. I found a small lump a couple weeks ago as a result. Couldn't feel it unless my arm was a certain way. Now for tests to see what it it is.

Mm I only did it once two years ago, cus I had lumps for maybe 3 or 4 years that were bothering me nd would be slightly painful sumtimes if pressure was applied or jus random pains, I was scared it was cancer but it wasn’t thankfully I forgot what it was called tho I have something

I self check every month or so but I've never had an actual check at the Dr

Usually whenever they tell me to. Like if I go to OBGYN.

I actually don't think I ever have

I’m 44 and have been waiting until I’m 45

I am a 40-year-old male. I haven’t noticed anything yet. You know we got to keep an eye on it also. It’s not just a one gender street.

I avoid acknowledging that they're there as much as possible...

Self exam every month after my period. Doctor gives one every 2 years with pap. I have a script to get a mammogram but not looking forward to that.

I haven't ever, but they'll be lobbed off probably within the next 5 years so here's hoping

Every time I tried to make an appt with the VA they told me oh they moved the age back. I'm 35 and have never had a mammogram.

Not at all

Self check every week to help the anxiety of being higher risk 👍

Never. I doubt I ever will due to money and the fear

I'm in Medicaid and had one mammogram. Knowing I was on Medicaid, the clinic ran some test that wasn't covered and charged me over $300! I'm on Medicaid because I'm broke, I don't have that kind of money. I haven't had a mammogram since.

A few self checks, but no doctor visits.

I've done self checks a couple of times but I've never had a mammogram.

Never done it before...

Annually, my doctor does it. I leave that to the professionals

Not nearly often enough, but I made an educational infographic on how to do it if anyone doesn’t know where to get started :)

no idea how often i’m supposed to

Never, and I hopefully never will

Never

I haven't had to yet not till I'm older but I make sure I feel ok

Self check monthly and Dr checks when I get paps

I am 56 I get one every year

I just had my first one, and it was not near as bad as expected.

This year

Did it for the first time last month.

This year 👍

To much energy
