Why do we need the breast detector:              

Most women know that they should check for lumps that are out of the ordinary.

However there are other changes to your breasts that you should look out for as well.

These includes:

1) A change in the size or shape of your breast

2) A change in the skin – particularly dimpling or puckering

3)Breast pain that does not go away after a period

4)A change in the appearance of the nipple or a discharge from the nipple

5) If you notice any changes you should ask your doctor about them as soon as possible. They may well be harmless but your doctor will be able to reassure you

6) Lumpy areas or thickening of the breast tissue

Most new lumps or other breast changes are not serious and can be easily treated if necessary. Should they prove to be cancer then there is a very good chance of successful treatment. And the earlier any problems are found, the better the chances. That is why it is important to be “breast aware” and to be on the look out for any changes.

what you will see with breast care equipment？                

You will see veins and other blood vessels as dark lines in your breast. These are totally normal. Around the nipple you may see a circle of small dots – these are part of your mammary glands. These are also totally normal. Over a number of months you will learn what your breasts look like when lit. This internal view will become as familiar to you as the look and feel of your breasts on the outside.  As with all the aspects of breast awareness the important thing is to look out for any changes. 

What we are looking for?           

When you are looking at your breasts you may also see other dark areas. These could look like very dark spots or a shadowy area. 

It is possible that these are abnormalities in the breast. If you see these you should go to your GP for advice.

It is important to check out any suspicious signs for your peace of mind. Whether it is a lump that you feel, a strange change in the nipple or a dark shadow seen with Breastlight you should follow up with your doctor.

Remember that not all abnormalities are cancerous. In fact in about nine out of ten cases it will not be a cancer but a minor ailment that can easily be treated.

The key thing is to go and see your Doctor straight away if you notice any changes or abnormalities. Having it checked out as soon as possible could save you needless worry. And if the lump is cancerous then you will have the best possible chance of successful treatment.
