Four symptoms of breast cancer that are easily ignored

The early symptoms of breast cancer are not very obvious and can be easily ignored. Everyone should pay attention to it. So what are the symptoms of breast cancer? I hope the following experts' introduction can help everyone. Let everyone know more about the symptoms of breast cancer .

1. Breast lumps and local thickening of the breast: Breast lumps are symptoms of breast cancer and have nothing to do with changes in the menstrual cycle. Local thickening of the breast that becomes increasingly thicker and covers an increasing area, especially when it occurs after menopause, is about 8% of the time a cancer and must be taken seriously.

2. Nipple bleeding or secretion: Nipple discharge in women who are not breastfeeding is mostly pathological, of which intraductal papilloma accounts for about half, followed by breast cystic hyperplasia and breast duct ectasia, and about 15% of patients are breast cancer. It is generally believed that bloody discharge has a 60% chance of cancer, and serous, milky or watery discharge is more likely to be benign; those over 50 years old or with lumps are more likely to be cancerous, and non-bloody nipple discharge under 40 years old or without lumps is often benign, which is a symptom of breast cancer.

3. Skin changes: Most breast diseases do not cause any skin changes. Acute mastitis often causes redness and swelling of the skin. Breast tuberculosis or plasma cell mastitis may cause skin ulcers or fistulas. Breast cancer may cause wrinkles or indentations to form "dimples". Repeated eczema and itching around the nipple that do not heal for a long time may be Paget's disease, a special type of breast cancer.

4. Changes in the nipple: Symptoms of breast cancer, unilateral nipple inversion or axial changes of the nipple are more common in breast cancer.
