In
addition to the pelvic exam and Pap test, your OB/GYN will
examine your breasts for any abnormalities. This is also to look
for early
signs of cancer, because breast cancer is often detected through
abnormal lumps in routine exams. Your OB/GYN will teach you about
breast self-exams. As a young woman, it’s important for you
to get into the habit of examining your breasts yourself so that
you know how they normally feel. That way, if anything strange
or abnormal shows up, it will be easy for you to detect.
