Breast cancer is one of the biggest women killers not only in the US, but in other parts of the world. To avoid breast cancer women are often advised to examine their breasts regularly and immediately contact their physician if they find any change or some other problem. But you must keep one thing in mind that a self-exam can never prove an alternative of a physician’s check or a mammogram.
However, self-exam is a good practice and you need to know about how to do it. Usually some days after period, breasts are not swollen or tender and it is the best time for self-exam. If you notice any of these following signs, you must consult your doctor:
appearance, armpit, breast cancer, little pain, mammogram, texture, warmness
US researchers say that women who suffer regular migraines may find some comfort to know that they have 
a considerable lower risk of developing breast cancer.
The researchers found a 30 percent lower risk for breast cancer in their study that included 3,412 women.
However, the researchers warned that more work was needed to confirm the link.
According an estimate, almost 30% women have to suffer at least one migraine in their lifetime.
Scientists have linked the condition (includes nausea and visual disturbance besides severe headaches) with fluctuating hormones levels.
Pregnancy and the use of the contraceptive pill that affect hormone levels can also cause noticeable changes in the frequency and severity of migraines.
The study is the first to look at whether these changes have an effect on the chances of developing breast cancer.
