- Wear a two-piece outfit (top and bottom) for ease during the physical examination.

Risks & possible complications
- Diagnostic uncertainty: A clinical exam alone cannot definitively diagnose a lump; further tests are often required.
- Anxiety and psychological stress while awaiting test results or a definitive diagnosis.
- If a biopsy is coordinated, minor risks include bruising, swelling, infection, or bleeding at the site.
- Potential for false reassurance if a lump is deemed benign clinically but requires imaging confirmation.
- Rare allergic reaction to antiseptic solutions used during any associated procedures.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Recovery from the clinical examination is immediate; you can resume normal activities right away.
- If a biopsy is performed, keep the area clean and dry as per post-procedure instructions.
- You may experience mild tenderness or bruising at a biopsy site for a few days; over-the-counter pain relievers can help.
- Follow up as scheduled to discuss all test results (imaging, biopsy) and formulate a definitive management plan.
- Adhere to recommended screening guidelines and perform regular self-breast exams as instructed.
