બ્રેસ્ટ સેલ્ફ એક્ઝામિનેશન (BSE) કેવી રીતે કરવું?

  બ્રેસ્ટ સેલ્ફ એક્ઝામિનેશન (BSE) કેવી રીતે કરવું? (ગૃહે પોતાની છાતીની તપાસ કરવાની રીત) કેમ જરૂરી છે? શરૂઆતના તબક્કે કોઈ પણ અસામાન્ય ફેરફાર શોધી શકાય. સમયસર તપાસથી જીવ બચાવી શકાય છે. 👉 બ્રેસ્ટ સેલ્ફ એક્ઝામિનેશન માટે સ્ટેપ્સ: 1. અરીસા ની સામે ઊભા રહીને નિહાળો તમારું બંને હાથ શરીર બાજુમાં મૂકો. તમારા બ્રેસ્ટનું આકાર, કદ અને રંગ ધ્યાનથી નિહાળો. ચામડીમાં કોઈ ખીંચાવ, ગાબરું, લાલાશ કે સોજો છે કે નહીં તે જોવો. હવે: બંને હાથ માથા ઉપર ઉંચા કરો અને ફરીથી નિહાળો. હાથ કમર પર દબાવીને ફરી નિહાળો. 2. હાથથી સ્પર્શ કરીને તપાસો (ઉભા રહી અથવા બાથરુમમાં શાવર સમયે) એક હાથના આંગળીઓથી બીજું બ્રેસ્ટ હળવે દબાવો. આંગળીઓના પેડ વડે ગોળ ગોળ ગતિમાં આખું બ્રેસ્ટ ચેક કરો. બાજુઓ અને બાંહ નજીકનું વિસ્તાર પણ તપાસો. કોઈ કઠણાઈ, ગાંઠ, દુખાવું કે બીજું અસામાન્ય લાગે છે કે નહીં તપાસો. 3. લેટીને (લમણો પડીને) તપાસો પીઠે લમણો પડી જાઓ. એક હાથ માથા પાછળ રાખો અને બીજા હાથથી બ્રેસ્ટ ચેક કરો. આ સ્થિતિમાં બ્રેસ્ટ પાતળી થાય છે અને ગાંઠ શોધવી સરળ બને છે. 4. નીપલ...
