このコンテンツについて
Let’s start with breast self-exams. Anyone with breast tissue—yes, that includes you, guys, too—should get familiar with how things usually look and feel. The National Breast Cancer Foundation recommends setting aside a moment once a month, ideally a few days after your period ends if you have one, when things aren’t lumpy from hormones. Here’s what you do: stand in front of a mirror, shirt off, hands on your hips. Look for changes in size, shape, or color. Are there any dimples, puckers, or skin that's gone rogue? Now, raise your arms overhead and give yourself another look.
Okay, time to get hands-on. Lie down or do this in the shower, whichever is more comfortable. Use the pads of your three middle fingers—think of them as the detectives here. Move in small circles starting at the outside edge of the breast, gradually spiraling in toward the nipple. Don’t forget the upper chest and armpit area; breast tissue likes to wander. Use light, medium, and firm pressure—you want to check deep as well as right under the skin. If you feel a hard lump, knot, thickened area, or see any discharge from the nipple, don’t panic, but do call your healthcare provider.
Now, let’s talk testicular self-exams—super important, especially for guys aged 15 to 35, since that's the most common age group for testicular cancer. It’s best to do this exam after a warm shower when things are, well, relaxed. Hold your testicle gently between your thumb and fingers and roll it—think of exam time as when your testicles get their own security checkpoint. You’re feeling for any lumps, bumps, or changes in size, shape, or firmness. A normal testicle is smooth and firm, kind of like a peeled, hard-boiled egg, and one might hang a little lower than the other. If you feel anything unusual—a lump, a nodule, or you notice swelling or pain—make an appointment with your doctor. Most lumps are not cancer, but early detection is a game changer.
Here’s the takeaway: no one knows your body like you do. Monthly self-exams help you spot changes early, and early detection can make all the difference. Plus, it’s a two-minute investment in yourself—think of it as your own personal health check-in.
