Early symptoms of breast cancer

In recent years, breast cancer has become the number one killer threatening women's health, and women are paying more and more attention to breast cancer.

Early symptoms of breast cancer

1. Pain

Although most patients do not feel obvious pain, a small number of patients seek medical treatment for pain, which is mostly paroxysmal stabbing pain, dull pain, etc.

2. Nipple discharge

Nipple discharge can be physiological or pathological. The discharge can be colorless, milky white, light yellow, brown, bloody, etc. It can also be watery, bloody, or serous-purulent. The amount of discharge can be more or less, and the intervals are different. Most breast cancers are accompanied by breast masses. It is very rare for patients to have nipple discharge alone as a symptom.

3. Lump

For adult women, if there is a breast lump, it should be taken seriously. Most breast cancers are single, and the shape of the lump varies greatly. It is usually considered to be irregular in shape, with unclear edges and hard texture. In the early stage, the cancerous lump is confined to the breast substance and can be moved, but once it invades the fascia or skin, the lump cannot be moved and the disease stage is relatively late.

4. Nipple changes

Normal breasts are symmetrical. If there is a tumor near the nipple, the nipple is often pulled up, which will cause the nipples on both sides to be uneven. Inverted nipple is an important sign of cancer in the central area of ​​the breast. At the same time, the nipple is difficult to pull out with fingers and is in a fixed retracted state.
