Pain in three places in the early stage of breast cancer

Early breast cancer usually does not cause pain, but you may feel some discomfort or pain in the breast, armpit, or chest area.

In some cases, people with breast cancer may experience breast pain, which is usually constant and different from breast tenderness during menstruation. If the pain persists or gradually worsens, it should be taken seriously. When breast cancer invades nearby lymph nodes, the lymph nodes may become enlarged and tender, causing pain or discomfort in the armpit. This pain may be mild, but it may also be constant and uncomfortable even when doing daily activities. This pain may affect daily life and work, making the patient feel anxious and uncomfortable. Breast cancer that invades the chest wall or chest cavity may cause chest pain. This pain may be constant or may be aggravated by coughing, deep breathing or exercise.

In daily life, it is important to see a doctor if you experience breast pain or other discomfort to rule out breast cancer or other possible health problems. Early diagnosis of breast cancer is very important because early detection and treatment can significantly improve cure rates and quality of life.
