Breast palpation involves using three fingers to feel in a small spiral motion around the entire breast. This can be done in several ways, and any of these methods can be chosen.

Method 1: Vertical palpation

From under the breast to the collarbone, palpate from top to bottom or from bottom to top.

Method 2: Wedge pattern palpation

Direction is either straight from the center outward or from the outside inward, either way is fine.

Method 3: Circular palpation

You can palpate either in an anti-clockwise or clockwise direction.
