What are the specific manifestations of early symptoms of breast cancer

summary

My aunt always feels very painful in her breast during this period of time. Sometimes her nipple will overflow, and the skin around her breast is also different. My cousin took her to the hospital for examination before she knew that she had breast cancer. Let me tell you about the specific manifestations of early symptoms of breast cancer.

What are the specific manifestations of early symptoms of breast cancer

First: mass: the first symptom of breast cancer. According to foreign reports, most of the masses were located in the outer upper quadrant, followed by the inner upper quadrant and the nipple areola area, and less in the lower quadrant. The size of the mass is different, 2-3cm is more common, mostly single, occasionally multiple. Most of the masses were round or oval, with unclear boundary, generally induration and poor mobility.

Second: pain: most breast cancer patients lack pain symptoms. Because of less pain, breast cancer is not easy to be detected early. Pain is often manifested as breast tingling, distending pain or dull pain, such as peri cancerous cystic hyperplasia of breast can also appear periodic pain. Nipple discharge: nipple discharge with mass, breast cancer accounted for a larger proportion. The overflow can be colorless, milky white, light yellow, brown, bloody, etc.; it can be water sample, blood sample, serous or purulent; the amount of overflow can be more or less, and the interval time is not consistent.

Third: breast skin changes: the breast tissue is surrounded by the subcutaneous superficial fascia, and the deep and superficial fascia is connected by the Cooper ligament. Because the superficial fascia is connected with the skin, when breast cancer invades the Cooper ligament between the breast and shortens it, it will stretch the skin and make the local skin sunken, like dimples, which is called dimple sign. In addition, direct adhesion of the tumor to the skin may also cause this situation. Dimple sign can appear early in breast cancer, especially when the affected arm moves up and down.
