Early detection saves lives! One of the most important steps you can take is performing regular breast self-exams. Swipe through to learn how you can check your breasts 💖 1️⃣ Stand in front of a mirror with your shoulders straight and hands on your hips. Look for changes in shape, color, or swelling. 2️⃣ Check for any changes while raising both arms. Do you see any dimpling or redness? 3️⃣ Use your opposite hand to check each breast with a smooth, circular motion. Feel for lumps or thickened areas. 4️⃣ Many women find it easiest to check in the shower. Again, feel for any unusual lumps or changes. Remember, we’re here for your health—if you or a loved one needs in-home care, 24/7 Nursing Care is just a call away! Tag someone who needs this reminder 💪💕

One of the leading causes of admission of nursing homes is bladder leakage. Women with the lowest levels of systemic estrogen had 300% increase risk of urge incontinence. And when adjusting for all variables, still had a 85% increase in the risk of urge incontinence. There are actually two quite old papers looking at systemic estrogen patches treating urge incontinence. I’ll do follow-up videos on these later.
