NBCF recommends that women do monthly breast self-exams beginning by age 20. BSE should be done every month just as a woman's period is ending. BSE helps women to learn the normal look and feel of their breasts, as well as checking for changes. If a woman no longer has periods, BSE should be done the same day each month.

How old were you when you first started doing monthly breast self-examinations?
