The symptoms of breast cancer can be quite varied (from a lump or swelling to changes in the skin), and many types of cancer even have no obvious symptoms.

In some cases, the lump may be too small and you may not be able to feel it or you may not notice unusual changes on your own. Often, an abnormal area appears on a screening mammogram (x-ray of the breast), leading to more testing.

However, in some other cases, the first sign of breast cancer is usually a new lump or mass in the breast that you or your doctor can detect. A hard, painless lump with irregular edges is more likely to be cancer. But sometimes cancerous lumps can be soft, soft and rounded.

It is important for your doctor to check for any unusual signs.

According to the American Cancer Society, any of the following unusual changes may be a symptom of breast cancer:

swelling of the breast or part of it

skin irritation or pitting

breast pain

pain in the nipple or inversion of the nipple

redness, peeling, or thickening of the nipple or breast skin

a discharge from the nipple other than milk

a lump in the armpits

ANNOUNCEMENTS

These changes may also be signs of less serious, non-cancerous conditions, such as an infection or a cyst. Again, it is important to have a doctor immediately check for any changes in the breast.

It is sensible to have a breast self-examination every month to monitor your breasts and have a better chance of detecting any changes. Consult your doctor if you experience changes in your breasts.

If you are over 40 years old or have a high risk of breast cancer, you should also have a mammogram and have a physical exam with a doctor annually. The earlier breast cancer is discovered and diagnosed, the more likely you are to successfully complete treatment.
