Breast cancer is a killer that starts eating up its victim silently and secretly. The ability to detect early symptoms of breast cancer equals treating the ailment partly. This is because it is said that when you are sick and you know the name of your sickness then it is half treated already; when you don’t know the name then it is a big problem.

The reason why many breast cancer patients detect get to know that they are having breast cancer too late is because they were not feeling any pain right from the beginning. This is why the knowledge of symptoms of breast cancer is very crucial.

As times goes on and the disease begins to grow into another level, it becomes worse, some of the symptoms of breast cancer become apparent. If the symptoms are too obvious, you need to consult a doctor right away. Several tests are conducted to determine if a certain individual has the illness.


The most common symptoms of breast cancer are as follows:

1. A lump in the breast
2. Bleeding from the nipple
3. Dimpling or tethering of the skin of the breast
4. Retraction of the nipple
5. Alteration of the shape of the breast
6. A rash on the nipple
7. Mass or lump found in armpits
8. Abnormal nipple discharge; the discharge appears like pus, yellow fluid, bloody, or greenish
9. The nipple changes in appearance, there are itchy sensations, or the nipple becomes retracted

Some people hardly even know that they are already experiencing the symptoms of breast cancer. A breast that itches frequently or feels hot/warm when touched are considered dangerous and rare symptoms of the disease.

Inflammatory breast cancer is dangerous and many individuals discover this disease too late. Mammogram or self exams usually don't detect this condition. Check if your breast is reddish in appearance because this is the very evident symptom of inflammatory cancer of the breast.

There are also women who mistake the orange peel appearance around their breast as cellulites and they are quite embarrassed to consult a doctor. If this is the case, you should not hesitate to visit your doctor right away.

The breasts usually become tender and increase a bit in size during menstruation. However, if the change in size happened in between menstruation periods, a visit to the hospital or clinic will do you good.

Women are not the only ones at risk but also men. Every year, more than 1600 men are diagnosed with breast cancer. The symptoms of breast cancer experienced by men include a lump, breast swelling and that of the nipples or chest wall, nipple discharge, the nipple becomes inverted, puckering or dimpling of the breast skin, and the breast skin appears dry, scaly, and reddish.

The ones mentioned above are the common symptoms of the disease. Again, take note that some of the symptoms of breast cancer are not evident especially during the early stages. It is advised that both men and women conduct self exams to determine if there are mass or lumps around the breast area. This is one of the best ways to detect the possibility of having the disease.

A great number of breast cancer patients die every year because they detected the condition during the late stages. There are various treatments available for breast cancer today. If you suspect you have breast cancer or you're experiencing any of the symptoms of breast cancer.

It is important you consult your doctor immediately so that the necessary tests can be performed to get accurate diagnosis. Once the right diagnosis is given, the doctor will now inform you about the treatment options that you can employ.
