Breast structure owned by women is very complex. In addition consists of fat and connective tissue, breast milk also contains channels, blood vessels, lymph nodes and the structure known as the lobes and lobules.
Each breast has 12 to 20 parts of lobules (milk-producing glands at the end of the lobe) and duct (milk ducts). Around the nipple, each duct widens to form a sac (ampulla).
If a woman has a healthy breast, then he will have the following characteristics, as quoted from Womenshealth, Wednesday (12/07/2011), namely:
1. Breast tissue under the skin feel soft and no bulges or bumps.
2. When palpable breast feels there is nodular or fibrous.
3. Putting harder but symmetrical and smooth
4. The size of both breasts symmetrical but if there is a difference between the right and left were still normal.
5. Not feel pain or tenderness when touching the breast
6. The shape is taut in the sense that no loose or fallen down
7. The position of the breast should be facing slightly upward at an angle of approximately 20-45 degrees
8. Nipple color depending on skin pigment has, for example if the nipple is usually white, pink, but if your skin is somewhat dark brown nipples.
Still present in breast tissue that a person can change depending on the age and phase of life, such as the menstrual cycle. And consumption of drugs or hormones can also affect breast tissue.
To know there are lumps in the breast or not the thing to consider is the size, shape, by sensing through touch, the location of the breast as well as color or texture of the breast.
However, if the breast is squeezed a milky white discharge, there are always bumps found around the breasts or breast skin that looks like an orange peel (pucker with skin pores rather prominent), then you should consult a doctor because it could be a sign of breast cancer .
Every woman should be able to recognize her own breasts using the right hand, this can be done by performing BSE (Breast Self-Examination).
