Breast Cancer Symptoms Every Woman Should Know
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women, but catching it early can greatly improve the chances of successful treatment. Knowing the symptoms of breast cancer can help you detect any changes early and take action. While not every symptom means cancer, it’s important to understand what to look for.
At Chughtai Lab, we are committed to raising awareness about breast cancer and providing all the necessary diagnostic tests at our Breast Clinic. Early detection saves lives, and being aware of the symptoms is your first step.
Common Signs of Breast Cancer
Breast cancer doesn’t always show obvious signs, so it’s important to know the symptoms. Here are the most common signs of breast cancer that you should watch for:
1. Lump or Mass
One of the first signs of breast cancer is often a lump or mass in the breast or underarm. It may feel hard, uneven, and doesn’t hurt, though some lumps can be soft or tender. If you find any new lump, get it checked by a doctor.
2. Changes in Breast Size or Shape
If you notice a sudden change in the size or shape of one of your breasts, it could be a sign of breast cancer. Pay attention to any swelling or shrinking of your breast.
3. Nipple Changes
If one or both of your nipples suddenly change—becoming inverted (pulled inward), changing position, or discharging fluid (especially blood)—it’s important to get them checked. Redness, scaliness, or crusting around the nipple could also be a symptom.
4. Breast or Armpit Pain
While breast pain alone is not always a sign of cancer, pain that lasts and doesn’t go away with your next period should be looked at. Cancer can cause discomfort in the breast or underarm area.
5. Skin Changes
If the skin on your breast looks dimpled or wrinkled (like an orange peel), it may be a sign of breast cancer. Redness, rash, or itchiness in the breast area could also indicate a less common type of breast cancer.
6. Unexplained Swelling
Swelling in your breast or underarm, even if you don’t feel a lump, can be a symptom of breast cancer. Swelling near the collarbone or underarm may mean the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes.
What to Do If You Notice Symptoms
If you notice any of the symptoms listed above, don’t panic. Many breast changes can be caused by non-cancerous conditions. However, it’s always better to be safe and get checked early. At Chughtai Lab’s Breast Clinic, we offer a variety of tests to help you understand what’s happening with your breast health:
