Park 23rd ed. 389-90 Breast self-examination BSE is a screening method used in an attempt to detect early breast cancer. The method involves the woman herself looking at and feeling each breast for possible lumps, distortions or swelling. For pre-menopausal women, the most commonly recommended time is just after the end of menstruation, because the breasts are least likely to be swollen and tender at this time. For postmenopausal, women or these having irregular cycles might do a self-exam once a month regardless of their menstrual cycle.
