Woman gets screened for breast cancer. [Photo/womenshealth.gov]Breast cancer is something some of us ladies try to avoid thinking about too much. As disturbing as it can be thinking about it is better to be aware of the signs so as to catch potential signs earlier.
Signs to be looking out for regularly are:Warmth or swelling.Does one of your breasts feel slightly wamer without any specific reason? Or do you feel any swelling on one of your breasts from the armpit to the nipple? This are most of the common potential signs to look out for and get checked.New lumps.Any kind of new lump, hardening, or thickening in the armpit or breast area is cause for concern. If you notice any lump make an appointment with the doctor.Redness or flaky skin.If you have noticed that your breast skin is redder or flakier than normal please do not ignore. Get it checked out it could be something more than that.Puckering and Dimpling.If you have noticed any physical changes such as puckering or dimpling on the surface of your breasts, then this can be a tell tale sign of something being wrong.Nipple pain.If it hurts all the time and even more so when slightly pulled, it really should be checked out. Don't just assume that its your daily jogging routine causing it.
