What symptoms should you be alert to when women have breast tumors?

According to statistics from authoritative departments, the incidence of breast cancer in Chinese women is getting younger and younger, and the clinical age of onset has been decreasing, especially the 25-35 age group has increased significantly, and there is another small peak after the 40-49 age group. The peak age of onset is 15 years earlier than that of Western women. Let our experts briefly introduce the symptoms of breast tumors to you, hoping to help you!

The symptoms of breast tumors mainly include the following manifestations, which require your attention in two aspects:

1. Through observation we can conclude:

1. 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.

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 mammary 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.

3. Changes in breast contour: A normal breast has a complete arc-shaped contour. Arc defects or abnormalities are often early manifestations of breast cancer.

4. Changes in the nipple: Unilateral nipple inversion or nipple axial changes are often seen in breast cancer.

2. Through touch, we can feel:

1. Breast lumps and local thickening of the breast: Breast lumps are the main symptoms of breast tumors 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. Breast pain: Sudden, continuous, and severe breast pain accompanied by tenderness is often an acute infectious disease. If there is local throbbing pain, it may be suppurative. Periodic distending pain or pricking pain related to the menstrual cycle is breast hyperplasia. Mild pain or dull pain in the breast, and no obvious pattern of onset, is often ignored because the pain is not obvious, but it is likely to be a signal of early malignant breast disease and should be taken seriously. If there is severe, continuous burning pain in the breast, transient or progressive aggravation, you should seek medical attention immediately.

3. Axillary lymph node enlargement and upper arm edema: Both mastitis and breast cancer can cause axillary lymph node enlargement, while upper arm edema is caused by axillary lymph node metastasis.

The above is an introduction to the symptoms of breast tumors. If you have the above symptoms, you must go to a regular institution in time to confirm whether you have breast cancer. In addition, experts remind you that early treatment and correct treatment of breast cancer are the prerequisites for cure.
