At least 2-3 days after a woman's menstrual cycle.
Explanation:
Try to get in the habit of doing a breast self-examination once a month to familiarize yourself with how your breasts normally look and feel.
Examine yourself 2-3 days after your period ends, when the breasts are least likely to be swollen and tender. If you are no longer having periods, choose a day that's easy to remember, such as the first or last day of the month.
