what's the symptoms of breast cancer?

Question:

Answers:
Unfortunately, the early stages of breast cancer may not have any symptoms. This is why it is important to follow screening recommendations. As a tumor grows in size, it can produce a variety of symptoms including:
lump or thickening in the breast or underarm
change in size or shape of the breast
nipple discharge or nipple turning inward
redness or scaling of the skin or nipple
ridges or pitting of the breast skin
If you experience these symptoms, it doesn't necessarily mean you have breast cancer, but you need to be examined by a doctor.

A method of screening available to all women is to feel the breasts for any lumps. A guide on how to do this properly can be obtained at any doctor's surgery. Women should also check for the other main symptoms:

*
Change in the size or shape of a breast
*
Dimpling of the breast skin
*
The nipple becoming inverted
*
Swelling or a lump in the armpit

u will feel lumps in ur breast, usually, just check and see what u find, not to sound nasty or anything, but i heard that's what u gotta do!

Only a lump on your breast. My mother had it and as soon as she saw it she went to the doctor. They found out it was cancer, she had surgery immediately, and they were able to remove all of it before it spread. If you have a lump, get it checked immediately! It could save your life. It saved my mom's.

Most of time there are no symptoms except a lump. That is why women should be checked by their doctor.

You have giant nipples

What are the "symptoms" of breast cancer?

Early breast cancer usually does not cause pain. In fact, when breast cancer first develops, there may be no symptoms at all.

But as the cancer grows, it can cause changes that women should watch for:

A lump or thickening in or near the breast or in the underarm area;
A change in the size or shape of the breast;
Nipple discharge or tenderness, or the nipple pulled back (inverted) into the breast;
Ridges or pitting of the breast (the skin looks like the skin of an orange); or
A change in the way the skin of the breast, areola, or nipple looks or feels (for example, warm, swollen, red, or scaly).

A woman should see her doctor about any symptoms like these. Most often, they are not cancer, but it's important to check with the doctor so that any problems can be diagnosed and treated as early as possible.

How is breast cancer diagnosed?

To help find the cause of any sign or symptom, a doctor does a careful physical exam and asks about personal and family medical history. In addition, the doctor may do one or more breast exams:

Clinical breast exam. The doctor can tell a lot about a lump by carefully feeling it and the tissue around it. Benign lumps often feel different from cancerous ones. The doctor can examine the size and texture of the lump and determine whether the lump moves easily.
Mammography. X-rays of the breast can give the doctor important information about a breast lump.
Ultrasonography. Using high-frequency sound waves, ultrasonography can often show whether a lump is a fluid-filled cyst (not cancer) or a solid mass (which may or may not be cancer). This exam may be used along with mammography.

Based on these exams, the doctor may decide that no further tests are needed and no treatment is necessary. In such cases, the doctor may need to check the woman regularly to watch for any changes.
