If treatment is not timely, complications of breast cancer may occur

If treatment is not timely, complications of breast cancer may occur. Therefore, people must discover breast cancer symptoms immediately when they appear. So what are the complications of breast cancer ? This question is often asked by people. Let the experts answer these questions for us.

The main complications of breast cancer are as follows:

1. A small number of breast cancer patients may have varying degrees of tenderness or nipple discharge in the early stages. Breast cancer masses grow rapidly. The breasts may have "orange peel-like" changes, the skin on the surface of the tumor may be sunken, the nipple may be tilted toward the direction of the tumor, and the nipple may be inverted. In the late stages of breast cancer, lymphatic metastasis and distant metastasis may cause a series of other symptoms, which are complications of breast cancer.

2. Breast cancer patients may develop "tumor loss of appetite-cachexia syndrome" in the middle and late stages. Loss of appetite is both the cause and clinical manifestation of cachexia. Symptoms such as loss of appetite, anorexia, weight loss, fatigue, anemia and fever may occur. Severe cases may be life-threatening. This is a complication of breast cancer.

3. In the late stage of breast cancer, lymph node metastasis may occur. The ipsilateral axillary lymph nodes may swell, and the number of swollen lymph nodes continues to increase, and they adhere to each other to form a mass. A few patients may have contralateral axillary lymph node metastasis. In the late stage of breast cancer, distant metastasis may also occur. Breast cancer may metastasize to the lungs, causing chest pain, pleural effusion, shortness of breath, and other symptoms. Spinal metastasis may cause severe pain in the affected area or even paraplegia, and liver metastasis may cause jaundice and hepatomegaly, which are complications of breast cancer.

The above is the explanation given by experts on the complications of breast cancer. I hope it can help you answer your questions. Experts suggest that some diseases have no early symptoms or are not obvious. For your health, the best way is to have regular physical examinations to detect the disease early and prescribe the right medicine.
