Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women aged 30-49, and it is also the leading cause of cancer deaths in this age group<sup>1<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-list\"><li>Treatments such as chemotherapy can induce <strong>early menopause and diminish a woman\u2019s fertility<\/strong>.

However, there is still no screening option for younger women. It is therefore essential to observe the breasts and be on the lookout for worrisome signs and symptoms. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what is \u201cbreast observation,\u201d and how should you go about it? The exercise consists of getting to know your entire breast area, including your armpits and nipples, but also recognizing changes in your skin. Some people may be nervous about doing this exercise because they are afraid of finding \u201csomething.\u201d We have a tip for you: start by doing it without necessarily looking for \u201cproblems.\u201d Do it just to get to know your healthy breasts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also take the time to observe the changes in your body during your menstrual cycle; these are \u201cnormal&#8221; because they recur every month and can be easily explained. In this way, you will be aware of your body&#8217;s normal fluctuations and will be able to quickly detect any recent and persistent changes. With this preventive routine, you will be able to sound the alarm and consult a doctor in case of abnormalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>whether it is appropriate to set up a screening plan based on your own situation. Definitely don\u2019t hesitate to talk to your doctor and ask questions about your personal risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Discover our complete breast observation guide and learn how to recognize the signs and symptoms of breast cancer and the right technique to adopt: here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"is-style-default wp-block-heading\">You are not alone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">The first step if you notice a symptom that worries you is to <strong>see a doctor<\/strong>.
