乳房健康始于对乳房的认识 — 了解乳房的正常状态。熟悉乳房的正常触感，以便更易发现异常。久而久之，您会发现根据月经周期、年龄和其他因素，乳房的敏感度和质地在不同的时间有什么变化。
对乳房肿块、乳房疼痛或乳头溢液的担忧很常见。如有任何问题或疑虑，请咨询医务人员。根据临床检查，医务人员可能会告知您可能需要进行的影像学检查。
有必要了解乳腺癌早期检测可能需要的筛查。这些筛查包括：
- 临床乳房检查
- 乳腺 X 线摄影
- 乳腺超声
- 乳房 MRI
致密乳腺组织可能需要进行额外的筛查。如果您有明显的乳腺癌或高危乳腺病变家族史，您可能需要接受额外的乳房 MRI 检查。
如果您正在考虑丰胸或缩胸手术，请了解手术过程。了解哪些人适合做手术、这类医疗程序的预期情况以及可能的风险和并发症。向医务人员咨询如何转诊至整形外科医生，以了解有哪些方案可选。
