Changes to look and feel for

To pick up potential problems at the earliest possible opportunity, you need to be aware of any changes in your breasts, which you can see in the images below.

What to do next

If you notice a change, please see your GP straight away. Don't worry about making a fuss, and do remember that most breast changes will not be cancer, even if they need treatment or follow-up appointments.

Your GP may be able to reassure you after examining your breasts, or you may be asked to come back at a different time in your menstrual cycle to rule out a hormonal cause. Alternatively, you may be sent to a breast clinic for a more detailed examination.
