summary

Breast cancer is the first killer threatening women's health, because this situation often has complications, but in fact, many women are in the middle and late stages when they know that they have breast cancer. The main reason is that many people ignore the early symptoms of breast cancer, so what are the symptoms of breast cancer in the early stage? I'd like to share my views with you.

What symptom does breast cancer have?

1. 80% of breast cancer patients with breast mass were first diagnosed with breast mass. Patients often inadvertently found breast masses, mostly single, hard, irregular edge, less smooth surface. Most breast cancer is painless mass, only a few with varying degrees of pain or tingling.

2. Nipple discharge non pregnancy from the nipple outflow of blood, serous, milk, pus, or stop breastfeeding for more than half a year still have milk outflow, known as nipple discharge. There are many causes of nipple discharge. The common diseases are intraductal papilloma, mammary gland hyperplasia, mammary duct ectasia and breast cancer. The bloody discharge of unilateral single orifice should be further examined, especially if accompanied by breast mass.

3. Skin changes breast cancer causes skin changes can appear a variety of signs, the most common is that the tumor invades the Cooper ligament connecting the breast skin and deep chest muscle fascia, making it shorten and lose elasticity, pulling the corresponding parts of the skin, resulting in "dimple sign", that is, the breast skin appears a small depression, like a small dimple. If the cancer cells block the lymphatic vessels, there will be "orange peel like changes", that is, there are many small pits on the breast skin, just like orange peel. In the late stage of breast cancer, cancer cells infiltrate into the skin along lymphatic vessels, glandular vessels or fibrous tissues and grow. Scattered hard nodules are formed in the skin around the main cancer focus, which is called "skin satellite nodules".
