When the diagnosis of breast cancer is made at an early
stage when the damage to the breast tissues are still minimal, a permanent cure
can be achieved and you will you can be spared the pains associated with the
disease and its treatment. That is why it is always important for you to know
the early signs of this deadly disease and visit a doctor immediately you
notice any of them.
Below is an overview of the common early breast cancer
symptoms that every woman should look out for:
Breast cancer is usually characterized by the formation of
lumps in the breasts. Most of these lumps are painless, though between the 3rd
and 4th stages of the development of the cancerous tumor, pain is
usually present, but the sensation varies from time to time. Another thing is
that they sometime create a spiny sensation, even though this is not usually
common. The lumps of breast cancer are usually hard and are particularly
persistent after menstruation. Usually, this can be felt in the breast
particularly in the underarm area.
Usually, there is a change in the size of the breasts and
this one is another notable breast cancer symptoms. This condition can be
noticed by an uneven increase in size.
Not common is the flattening that occurs in the affected area, even
though a lump cannot be felt. Sometimes an indentation can appear, again
without a noticeable sign of a lump. Individuals who suffer breast cancer feel
that they have a small area that resembles marble under the skin. To be safe,
if you notice any area that is particularly different, you should consult your
doctor.
Altered or changed
skin color, texture and temperature are some of the symptoms of breast cancer.
Women who suffered with an advanced stage of this kind of cancer experience a
significant change in the skin of the affected area. Some tiny dents start to
surface and become reddish to resemble orange peel. The area is much warmer to
touch which is not normal.
Women who suffer breast cancer experience a change in the
nipples. A change in the nipple is one of the widely known breast cancer
symptoms. It may become depressed and get an unusual dimpled look. A form of
ulceration might also be evident. Feeling itchy or burning are some of its other
symptoms.
When a discharge from the nipple is taking place it can also
signal the presence of a tumor. Whatever the color and texture of the discharge
is, you must consult your doctor right away. You must remember that this is not
normal and even if you do not have a tumor, you might be suffering from another
condition.
It is very important for you to consult a doctor if you have
any of these symptoms and also get to know how you can feel your breast
naturally, by doing a monthly self breast examination.
Above all, get to know how likely you are to get breast cancer (your risk factors), the habits that help you prevent breast cancer and
learn how to carry out a proper self breast examination.
Your health is in your hands – keep your breasts (and
yourself) safe from breast cancer!
