Pencegahan Awal Kanker Payudara

Pencegahan awal

Perlu untuk diketahui, bahwa 9 di antara 10 wanita menemukan adanya benjolan di payudaranya. Untuk pencegahan awal, dapat dilakukan sendiri. Sebaiknya pemeriksaan dilakukan sehabis selesai masa menstruasi. Sebelum menstruasi, payudara agak membengkak sehingga menyulitkan pemeriksaan. Cara pemeriksaan adalah sebagai berikut :

* Berdirilah di depan cermin dan perhatikan apakah ada kelainan pada payudara. Biasanya kedua payudara tidak sama, putingnya juga tidak terletak pada ketinggian yang sama. Perhatikan apakah terdapat keriput, lekukan, atau puting susu tertarik ke dalam. Bila terdapat kelainan itu atau keluar cairan atau darah dari puting susu, segeralah pergi ke dokter.
* Letakkan kedua lengan di atas kepala dan perhatikan kembali kedua payudara.
* Bungkukkan badan hingga payudara tergantung ke bawah, dan periksa lagi.
* Berbaringlah di tempat tidur dan letakkan tangan kiri di belakang kepala, dan sebuah bantal di bawah bahu kiri. Rabalah payudara kiri dengan telapak jari-jari kanan. Periksalah apakah ada benjolan pada payudara. Kemudian periksa juga apakah ada benjolan atau pembengkakan pada ketiak kiri.
* Periksa dan rabalah puting susu dan sekitarnya. Pada umumnya kelenjar susu bila diraba dengan telapak jari-jari tangan akan terasa kenyal dan mudah digerakkan. Bila ada tumor, maka akan terasa keras dan tidak dapat digerakkan (tidak dapat dipindahkan dari tempatnya). Bila terasa ada sebuah benjolan sebesar 1 cm atau lebih, segeralah pergi ke dokter. Makin dini penanganan, semakin besar kemungkinan untuk sembuh secara sempurna
* Lakukan hal yang sama untuk payudara dan ketiak kanan.
