Breast cancer is known to be one of the most women experienced cancer/disease. It seems to be a major problem in women, suffered mainly by women over the age of 50.

It is very necessary to detect breast cancer at an early stage before it spreads. If you have a breast lump, pain, discharge or skin irritation, see your health care provider immediately. If breast cancer is treated at an early stage, there is a chance to survive it.

However, the more it grows and spread the less chance to cure it. Although many women fear breast cancer, most breast problems are not breast cancer.

How to detect breast cancer

Noticing a painless lump in your breast is mainly the first symptoms of breast cancer, although not all breast lumps are cancerous. Most breast lumps are fluid filled cysts or fibroadenomas – a solid, round, rubbery lump that move easily when pushed, (occurring most in younger women).

Hints: you should see your doctor if a lump is develops, because it could be cancerous.

2. Changes in your breast
The size and shape of the breast could change during the early stage of breast cancer. But not in all cases, it could be fibrocystic breast changes – lumpiness, thickening and swelling, (often just before a woman's period).

When a discharge from a nipple occurs when a woman is not breastfeeding could also be a sign of breast problem or a cancerous effect, it is not necessary a breast cancer. But when the discharge is bloodstained, see your doctor immediately.

4. Rashes around the nipple
When you observe rashes around the nipple that look just like a small patch of eczema, it’s a rare type of breast cancer, see your doctor immediately.

5. Pain in the breast
