Early detection is crucial for breast cancer. Here are some key signs and symptoms to be aware of:
Changes in Breast or Nipple:
New Lump: This is the most common symptom, but not all lumps are cancerous. It's important to see a doctor for any new lump you discover.
Thickening: A thickening or swelling in any part of the breast can be a sign.
Dimpling: If the skin of your breast appears dimpled or puckered, like an orange peel, it warrants a check-up.
Nipple Changes: Look out for any inward turning of the nipple, or changes in the color or texture of the nipple or surrounding area (areola).
Discharge: Any discharge from the nipple other than breast milk, especially if bloody, should be checked by a doctor.
Changes in Size or Shape:
Uneven Breasts: While breasts naturally vary somewhat in size, any noticeable difference or change in size or shape should be evaluated by a healthcare professional.
Other Symptoms:
Skin Changes: Redness, dryness, flakiness, or thickening of the breast skin can be signs.
Swollen Lymph Nodes: Lymph nodes in the armpit or near the collarbone may be swollen due to breast cancer spread.
Pain: Although less common, pain in any area of the breast can be a symptom.
Remember:
These are just some signs and symptoms, and not everyone with breast cancer will experience them all.
It's important to be familiar with how your breasts normally look and feel so you can notice any changes.
If you experience any of these symptoms, see a doctor right away. Early detection can significantly improve the chances of successful treatment.
