Clinical Breast Examination
What To Think About
- If you have breast pain when you have your periods (cyclic breast pain), see the topic Reference Breast Pain (Mastalgia).
- A normal clinical breast examination does not mean that breast cancer is not present. Depending on your age and your personal and family history of breast cancer, your health professional may do other tests, such as a mammogram.
