Women breasts are more likely to change throughout the life as the structure of breasts become different in men and women after puberty so as women breasts are more sensitive in structure and have more tissues so they develop more disease and infections. In order to take good care of breasts women should stay in touch with this part of the body on regular basis so that abnormal changes can be diagnosed as they take place.

• If the size or shape of breast changes in a noticeable manner it must be checked by the doctor immediately because it can be due to breast cancer, although it can’t be said for sure that size and shape changes only due to breast cancer because it is normal for breasts to change the size in certain situations such as before periods and during pregnancy the size changes but if it happens without these conditions it is abnormal. If a woman performs regular breast examination she can notice these changes at once.
