This document provides information on breast self-examination (BSE). It recommends that women over 20 perform monthly BSE, a few days after their period if applicable. The method involves inspection of each breast while standing and lying down, using different hand positions to feel for lumps or abnormalities. Palpation techniques like circular, linear and wedge motions are used. Mammography is also discussed as a screening and diagnostic tool to detect breast cancer early through characteristic masses or microcalcifications.Breast self examination

Breast self-examination (BSE) involves women looking for lumps or changes in their breasts by sight and touch to detect breast cancer early. BSE should be performed monthly, particularly after menstruation. Regular BSE allows women to familiarize themselves with their breasts and identify any new changes, improving early detection. While lack of confidence can deter BSE, recommendations include all women over 20 performing monthly BSE and regular clinical exams/mammograms depending on age to screen for breast cancer. Proper technique involves visual inspection in front of a mirror with various arm positions followed by systematic circular palpation of each breast in different positions.breast-self-examination.pptx

The non-stress test (NST) is a common prenatal test used to evaluate fetal well-being in the third trimester of pregnancy. The test involves continuous electronic monitoring of the fetal heart rate and movements using ultrasound or other sensors. It is a non-invasive test performed when the fetus is over 28 weeks of gestation. During the 20-40 minute test, accelerations in the fetal heart rate in response to movement are evaluated to determine if the fetus is reactive and healthy or non-reactive, which may require further evaluation. The test helps assess fetal oxygen levels and growth without placing stress on the fetus.Kangaroo mother care

Breast self examination involves inspecting and palpating the breasts monthly to check for any abnormalities. It should be conducted once a month by women over 20 years old, on a fixed date preferably one week after menstruation. The examination involves looking at breasts in mirrors in different positions and then feeling the breasts with fingers in circular and vertical motions. Any lumps or changes found should be reported to a doctor, as early detection of breast cancer can lead to complete cure. Regular breast self examination is important for all women to practice.Breast exams.pptx

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle that makes it difficult for the heart to pump blood effectively. There are three main types: dilated cardiomyopathy causes the heart chambers to enlarge; hypertrophic cardiomyopathy results in abnormal thickening of the heart muscle; and restrictive cardiomyopathy occurs when heart muscle is replaced with scar tissue causing stiffness. Symptoms include fatigue, shortness of breath, and heart failure. Treatment involves medications, surgically implanted devices, and possibly heart transplant for severe cases.Infective endocarditis

Breast self examination
- 1. Breast self examination by Likhila abraham
- 2. Step 1: Begin by looking at your breasts in the mirror with your shoulders straight and your arms on your hips.
- 3. 1.Breasts that are their usual size, shape, and color 2.Breasts that are evenly shaped without visible distortion or swelling
- 4. 1.Dimpling, puckering, or bulging of the skin 2.A nipple that has changed position or an inverted nipple (pushed inward instead of sticking out) 3.Redness, soreness, rash, or swelling
- 5. Step 2: Now, raise your arms and look for the same changes.
- 6. Step 3: While you're at the mirror, look for any signs of fluid coming out of one or both nipples (this could be a watery, milky, or yellow fluid or blood).
- 7. step 4: Next, feel your breasts while lying down, using your right hand to feel your left breast and then your left hand to feel your right breast
- 8. Use a firm, smooth touch with the first few finger pads of your hand, keeping the fingers flat and together. Use a circular motion, about the size of a quarterCover the entire breast from top to bottom, side to side from your collarbone to the top of your abdomen, and from your armpit to your cleavage.
- 9. You can begin at the nipple, moving in larger and larger circles until you reach the outer edge of the breast. You can also move your fingers up and down vertically, in rows, This up-anddown approach seems to work best for most women
- 10. Finally, feel your breasts while you are standing or sitting. Many women find that the easiest way to feel their breasts is when their skin is wet and slippery, so they like to do this step in the shower. Cover your entire breast, using the same hand movements described in step 4
