Breast Cancer Awareness:Breast Cancer Symptoms and Signs in Women


Symptoms and signs of breast cancer in women: A misconception.

Signs and symptoms of breast cancer in women are very confusing terms perhaps wrong terms to use when talking about breast cancer campaign or awareness. Actually there are no specific symptoms of breast cancer. Breast cancer is unlike any other disease that gives clear symptoms. Symptoms of a disease are what the vulnerable feels and signs are what the doctor thinks or predicts on the basis of particular and several reasonable grounds. Now there are some particular suspicious changes that may be an indication of breast cancer but in most of the cases it is seen that these symptoms traditionally called breast cancer symptoms are not due to breast cancer. So the term symptoms are ironic and misleading when trying to be aware rather than being scared of breast cancer. We would better say that there are some suspicious changes like breast pain or presence of uneven lump that need to be treated and diagnosed carefully as they may occur due to breast cancer. Let’s see what these changes are. If any of these shows up don’t be afraid. Seek for the reason behind the signs and identify if it is due to breast cancer or something else. In most of the times it will be something else but in no case you should ignore the changes as you never know what exactly you have got until getting medical conformation. In this breast cancer awareness month let me remind again any percentage over 0.00 is a positive number and you may be a portion of that. So, be aware and consult your doctor when the following changes show up:

Change in breast structure:
You know your breast well. If you are habituated with breast examination you know it even better. So when you experience any changes in the shape and size for no reasonable cause like pregnancy or menstrual circle you should consult your doctor. Consider the change based on the actual shape and size; don’t be confused if you are not happy with your current structure. These are different things. A sudden and permanent swell or dimpling, breast tenderness etc. are notable changes. It’s better to confirm that most of the women experience breast tenderness in the lifetime and rarely it’s due to breast cancer. But breast tenderness also should be considered as a significant change.
Prolonged change in texture:
The different part of the breast gives different feels. You can experience and have a better idea of the texture of these portions through breast self-exam. Whatever, if you experience a sudden but seemingly a long term suspicious change in the texture in any portion of your breast you should take it to your doctor’s notice. The suspicious change refers to a part surrounded by a completely different type of tissue.
Pain or breast tenderness:
Sore breast is not typically an indication of breast cancer at least in early stage. In advanced steps pain may occur but still breast tenderness doesn’t significantly arise due to cancer. But you should promptly consult your doctor if you have sore breast with other changes. Remember pain due to pregnancy, breast feeding, menstrual period are very usual for females. So don’t be upset with breast tenderness.
Unusual Lump:
In an early chapter I have already described that women can usually have lumps in their breast and its nothing to panic if they know it’s usual for their breast through barest self-exam. Most breast lumps are not cancer. If you perform regular breast exam then you know the normal behaviors like regularity of occurrence, shape, size and feel of the lumps of your breast. In these case when you notice any change for more than a menstrual period you have to check it out for conformation.
If you never had a breast lump before and it’s totally new to you should handle it carefully. If the lump appears in the breast or near the armpit and feels totally different something like a sharp stone in a beach, or a marble in a granular surface you should take it to your doctor’s notice if it persists over a full menstrual period. The lump that occasionally causes cancer more often hold sharp edges but they might be smooth and round as well. The size can be either as small as a peanut or as big as a small olive.
Remember, the first indication of breast cancer is typically a painless lump. Breast soreness or breast tenderness is not usually an early sign.


Fluid discharge:
If you notice a fluid discharge from the nipple that is not milk but anything unusual consult an expert. This fluid can be blood, transparent sap, yellow juice etc. If you find breast tenderness with it, it’s less likely to be cancer but still needs clarification from doctors.
Skin Irritation:
Peeling, red, or inflamed skin on the breast, nipple, or areola (the shady circle around the nipple) should be checked by doctor. Suspicious edges or pits on skin that looks like the surface of a slice of bread should also be considered as a significant change.
Nipple Disorder:
A twisted, introvert or disappearing nipple is suspicious. If your nipple is displaced, moving towards a different direction from the areola, moving inside down you should take it seriously and consult the doctor. Not to panic much, most of the time it’s not due to breast cancer.
Well, I have tried to explain the eminent changes that may indicate breast cancer. It is time to remind you again all of these changes most often don’t appear due to breast cancer. There are several other and usual reasons behind these. So let’s take our breast cancer campaign one step ahead again in this breast cancer awareness month, let’s be aware, be careful and be free from unnecessary panic. As we can think, we can understand and we can learn surely we can prevent breast cancer as well.
