Breast symptoms in the early stages of breast cancer

Breast cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in women, usually occurring in the glandular epithelial tissue of the breast. It is one of the most common malignant tumors that seriously affects women's physical and mental health and even endangers their lives. Paying attention to breast health has become a must for many women. So, which common breast problems in daily life are related to cancer? When do we need to be highly vigilant?

Breast pain: If it is breast cancer, generally, even if you touch the lump, you will not feel pain. But at this time, the growth of the lump will be very rapid. When you touch it, you will feel that its surface is uneven, with no clear boundary with the surrounding normal tissue, and its texture is hard. Severe breast pain, especially when you touch it, is usually a manifestation of breast inflammation, such as acute mastitis and breast abscess; and pain related to the menstrual cycle is generally a manifestation of breast hyperplasia.

Partial breast thickening: If you touch the breast and find that a certain part of the tissue is slightly thicker than the surrounding area, with unclear boundaries and difficult to measure its exact size, it is generally diagnosed as "hyperplasia" clinically. If the thickened tissue exists for a long time and has nothing to do with changes in the menstrual cycle, or becomes thicker and larger, especially in middle-aged women, it must be taken seriously, because 8% of them will become cancerous.

Nipple discharge: If the discharge is bloody, there is a 60% chance that it is cancer; if it is serous, milky or watery, it is more likely to be benign. The presence of a lump is also an important criterion, which makes it more likely to be malignant.

Changes in breast skin: In most breast diseases, the breast skin does not change. However, breast cancer is accompanied by skin inward movement, forming something like a "dimple". Acute mastitis often causes skin redness and swelling, and breast tuberculosis may be accompanied by skin ulcers or fistulas.

Changes in breast contour: Normal breasts have a complete curved contour. Once any changes in this curve occur, you must be alert. Sometimes, these may be early manifestations of breast cancer.

Nipple changes: Nipple inversion is also a common symptom of breast cancer, often unilateral inversion. If the nipple eczema and itching occur repeatedly and do not heal for a long time, you should consider the possibility of Paget's disease, which is a special type of breast cancer.

The above are some of the early breast symptoms of breast cancer. However, it is worth reminding that when the above changes occur, you should go to the hospital to ask a specialist for examination in time to ensure peace of mind. And because most breast cancers are asymptomatic, therefore, regardless of age, regular specialist physical examinations are very necessary every year. Feihua Health Network wishes you good health!
