Symptoms Of Breast Cancer

Initially, breast cancer does not cause any symptoms. Built-in may be too small to feel or cause unusual changes in self-conscious. Often the area becomes an abnormal screening mammogram (breast x-ray), which leads to additional testing.

In some cases, however, the first sign of breast cancer is a new piece or lump in the breast that you or your doctor can feel. A piece that is not painful, hard and has uneven edges is more likely to be cancerous. But sometimes the cancer can be tender, soft and rounded. It is therefore important to have something unusual checked by your doctor.

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

swelling of all or part of the breast

skin irritation or dimpling

chest pain

nipple pain or the nipple turning inward

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

nipple discharge other than breast milk

a lump in the armpit

These changes can also be signs of less serious conditions that are not cancer, such as infection or a cyst. It 'important to have verified all the changes in the breast your doctor immediately.
