Signs and Symptoms of Breast Cancer

http://www.breastcanceranswers.net/ Detecting signs of breast cancer may be misleading. Some women think that having a lump on their breast or under their arms already means that they have one. Often there are no physical signs that you can see or feel. Some outside signs may include a lump or thickening of an area, or a dimple in the breast.

Redness and swelling of the breast or an enlargement in the axillary lymph nodes are less common signs. These said lumps may be just benign (non-cancerous).

If you are able to detect a lump, or if you may have worries that you have breast cancer, it is crucial that you see a doctor immediately. That is, to ease your worries and for them to answer your questions.

Certain signs may include: lumps in the breast or under arms, changes in the nipples, breast pain or cysts. You should also learn the proper way of physically examining your breast for lumps.

A lump can be felt by physical examination either by you or by your doctor. This lump is said to be painless and hard. And sometimes, it may be soft, rounded and tender. A mammogram which is an x-ray for the breast would most likely see an abnormal area; and this area should undergo further testing.

According to the American Cancer Society, any of the subsequent abnormal changes in the breast can be signs of breast cancer.

These are:
- Breast pain
- Irritation or dimpling of the skin in your breast
- A part or all of the breast is swelling
- Pain in the nipples or your nipples may appear turning inward
- Thickening, scaliness or redness of the nipples or breast skin
- Painless lump under your arm (armpit)
- Or a discharge in your nipples other than breast milk

The said above signs of breast cancer may also be a sign of less crucial conditions that are not cancerous such as cyst, infection or just a discharge.
