What are the early symptoms of breast cancer in pregnant women

The early symptoms of breast cancer are what we should pay attention to. Many breast cancers will have some not very obvious symptoms in the early stage, but if we are careful enough, we will definitely be able to find them, which is very helpful for our treatment of breast cancer. So, what are the early symptoms of breast cancer?

1. Although some early breast cancer patients cannot feel a clear lump in the breast, they often have local discomfort, especially postmenopausal women. Sometimes they feel mild pain and discomfort in one breast, or heaviness, soreness and discomfort in one shoulder and back, and even involve the upper arm on that side.

2. In the early stage, a bean-sized lump can be felt in the breast, which is hard and movable. Generally, there is no obvious pain, but a few may have paroxysmal dull pain, dull pain or stabbing pain.

3. Changes in breast appearance: The skin at the site of the lump may be seen to be bulging, and some local skin may appear orange peel-like, or even edematous, discolored, or have eczema-like changes.

4. The nipple is retracted near the center. The breast skin is slightly sunken (medically known as "dimple syndrome"), nipple erosion, nipple asymmetry, or the breast skin is thickened and coarsened, and the pores are enlarged (medically known as "orange peel syndrome").

5. Nipple discharge: If the discharge is bloody or serous, special attention should be paid to further examination.

6. Regional lymphadenopathy, most commonly in the ipsilateral axillary lymphadenopathy. Supraclavicular lymphadenopathy is considered advanced.

In fact, if breast cancer can be effectively treated in the early stages, it is not that scary. If we want to effectively cure breast cancer, we must understand these aspects. Otherwise, if we wait until the later stages to treat it, the effect will not be as good as before. I hope the above information can be useful to everyone.
