SULSELEKSPRES.COM Breast cancer occurs due to changes or mutations in breast cells that turn into abnormal and uncontrolled cells.
These changes are caused by several triggering factors, such as an unhealthy lifestyle, radiation exposure, being overweight, hormonal problems, late menopause, first menstruation under 12 years of age, to genetic factors. Then, what are the symptoms of breast cancer that are easily recognized? Here’s the discussion!
When cancer cells grow in the breast area, their appearance is usually characterized by the following symptoms:
1. Lumps on Breasts
A lump that appears in the breast is the most easily recognizable symptom of breast cancer. In addition to the breast area, lumps may also appear around the upper chest or armpits. This is because the breast tissue extends down the arm. Cancer cells can spread through the lymph nodes near the breast or under the arm to other organs far from the breast.
Sometimes, a lump as a symptom of breast cancer is not directly visible to the naked eye, but will be felt when touched. Cancerous lumps may also be painless or painful. To recognize it, here are the characteristics of breast cancer lumps:
• The texture of the lump tends to be soft towards hard.
• The surface of the lump is usually uneven.
• The lump is firmly attached to the breast.
• The lump is usually only one in number.
• The lump is not painful or painful when pressed.
In order to detect a lump that is a symptom of breast cancer, you need to regularly check the appearance and condition of your breasts every day, so you can detect problems as early as possible.
2. Changes in Breast Skin
Changes in the skin of the breast is also a symptom of breast cancer. Cancer cells usually also attack healthy breast skin cells and cause inflammation so that the original texture changes.
There are several breast changes associated with cancer, such as thickened skin areas, breast skin that becomes slightly sunken and wrinkled, to itchy skin.
3. Colored discharge from the nipple
Breast cancer is also characterized by the appearance of colored discharge from the nipples. This condition will be accompanied by the appearance of sores on the nipples that do not improve. The fluid that comes out is usually not clear, but reddish brown.
Immediately go to the hospital or ask a doctor when the nipple discharge is not normal.
4. Big Tits Next
Women’s breasts do not have the same size and shape between the left and right. However, you have to be careful if the large breast on the other side is not as usual, because it could be a sign of cancer. This is because cancer cells can make all or part of the breast area swell. As a result, one side of the breast affected by cancer will be larger.
If caused by cancer, the difference in breast size will be quite obvious. The side of the breast where there is a lump will be so swollen that it looks down or slumped. If you experience swelling in your breasts for no apparent reason, don’t hesitate to check with your doctor.
5. Soaked or Pulled Nipples
Cancer cells can invade and change the cells behind the nipple. This can cause the nipples to turn upside down or appear like they are sinking inwards. In fact, the normal nipple will appear protruding out. In addition to the tip of the nipple that sinks inward, the shape and size of the nipple also often changes far from the original.
