Breast Cancer Symptoms
By Antin. Women should learn about breast cancer symptoms. If she know breast cancer symptoms she can identify the breast cancer earlier. Breast cancer that is found in early stage can be treated more easily. Most victims of breast cancer do not aware when they have breast cancer symptoms. So they search for medical treatment in late stage that sometimes lead them to death.
Although there are no early breast cancer symptoms, still there are some signs which can help in diagnosing breast cancer in an early stage. Though it is hard to detect breast cancer in an early stage as almost no symptoms or signs occur in an early stage. But if one is familiar with the usual symptoms of breast cancer then there is much probabilities that breast cancer symptoms can be caught at an early stage.
A woman should check her breast regularly and try to find three possible breast cancers symptoms: a lump/thickness in the breast, a channge in the breast skin appearance, or lquid discharge from the nipple. A lump on the breast is the best-known breast cancer symptoms. Lumps or masses in the breast are not unusual, and most of them are not cancerous. Some breast masses can be felt during a breast exam. Lump may form in the breast, chest or under the arm if the cancer is in the breast or near the chest wall.
Changes in breast skin could be breast cancer symptoms. Breast cancer may cause dimpling of skin (like an orange peel), wrinkled, rash, swollen or inflamed. A change in the breast skin’s appearance can be down to other factors. It may be caused by another less serious medical condition, some medications you have been taking or some other influence. Whatever the cause, you should have your doctor examination to make sure that the skin changes is not breast cancer symptoms.
Nipple discharge is one of breast cancer symptoms. The discharge may be clear, pus, bloody, green or yellow. See your doctor who will then be able to perform further tests and identify the nipple discharge is breast cancer symptoms or causes by other diseases.
Other breast cancer symptoms are changes in the shape or the size of the breast or a nipple, pain, thickening near the breast or underarm area without any specific reason. The nipple may appear scaly, read, swollen, turn slightly inward or contain ridges or pitting similar to the skin of an orange.
