According to you how often should women check-up themselves for any build-up in their breast?
Beth Nielsen Chapman
I think every woman needs to understand her own breasts and there are lots of different types of density and other parameters that must be taken into consideration. But I think it is important that you get to know your breasts and at least once a month do a very thorough exam to check for any changes.
How far are the doctors & medical systems able to handle early detection?
Beth Nielsen Chapman
Doctors and medical systems I think are generally variable in terms of the amount of thoroughness they might have for early detection. I believe it is something that each woman has to take responsibility for and learn as much as possible to help protect themselves from what I think is sometimes a lackadaisical attitude towards women especially younger women who are presenting with breast lumps or other concerns.
Sometimes you might have to push for additional tests to really be certain. I am also a big believer in getting a second opinion if you have any doubts or concerns that your doctor or medical person has not been through enough.
