Introduction to several common breast cancer symptoms

Breast cancer is a very scary disease for female friends, which may endanger the life of female friends. What are the common symptoms of breast cancer ? Here is a brief introduction to the common symptoms of breast cancer.

In general, common symptoms of breast cancer include:

1. Skin changes: If breast cancer invades the ligaments between the glands and the skin and causes them to atrophy, skin depressions may occur, like "dimples", which is called the "dimple sign" and is a symptom of early breast cancer. If breast cancer cells block the lymphatic vessels, it causes skin edema, depression of the hair follicles, and skin changes like orange peel, also known as the "orange peel sign", which is a symptom of advanced breast cancer. If the tumor is located deep in the nipple or near it, it can cause the nipple to retract, sag, or rise. Eczematoid carcinoma of the nipple, also known as Pagets disease of the nipple, is manifested by itching, erosion, ulceration, crusting, desquamation, burning pain, and even nipple ulceration and retraction, which are typical symptoms of breast cancer.

2. Breast lumps: Breast lumps are the first symptom of breast cancer, accounting for more than 90%, and are the most common symptom of breast cancer. Most patients often accidentally find painless, hard, irregular-edged, and less-smooth lumps in the breast, and a few patients experience varying degrees of dull pain or tingling. Patients often mistake them for inflammation or physiological breast changes before menstruation, and lose vigilance, delaying diagnosis and treatment.

3. Nipple discharge: Breast cancer discharge is often bloody, slurry or watery, and is also a common symptom of breast cancer. Thin bloody discharge is mostly cancer. The incidence of breast cancer in nipple discharge increases with age.

4. Swollen lymph nodes: This is also a common symptom of breast cancer. Occult breast cancer often presents as enlarged axillary lymph nodes as the initial symptom, but no lumps can be felt during breast examination. Breast cancer can metastasize to the axillary lymph nodes, the supraclavicular lymph nodes, and the contralateral axillary lymph nodes.
