DID YOU KNOW: As of 2015, self-breast examinations are no longer recommended, huh? 🤔 ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Comment YES or NO ⬇️ .​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ However, the Young Survival Coalition, reported that 80% of young women find breast abnormalities themselves. So, why are we being advised not to perform routine Self-Breast exams? ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ While reports on Mayo Clinic’s website states the following: ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Most medical organizations don't recommend routine breast self-exams as a part of breast cancer screening. That's because breast self-exams haven't been shown to be effective in detecting cancer or improving survival for women who have breast cancer.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Still, doctors believe there is value in women being familiar with their own breasts, so they understand what's normal and promptly report changes.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Hmm 🤔 the math ain’t mathing. Stay tuned, Miracle Babes we’ll bring you more updates on this topic. Until then, keep checking your boobs regularly. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Sources: @youngsurvivalcoalition and @mayoclinic​​​​​​​​ •​​​​​​​​ •​​​​​​​​ •​​​​​​​​ #tgin #tginfoundation #tgingoespink #tginpinkambassador#gopink2022 #pinktober #thinkpink #breastcancerthriver#cocktailsforthecure #christiadonaldson #breastcancerawarenessmonth #checkyourboobs #breasthealth #breastcancersurvivor #breastcancer #breastcancerfree #breastcancerwarrior #breastcancercare #bcsm #cancersucks #womenshealth #blackbreasthealth #blackhealthmatters #breastcancersupport #breastcancermonth #breastcancerthriver
