NOTE: males are not exempt from breast cancer either, as one in a thousand will develop the disease. Ladies, these symptoms are merely a guideline and are not in any intended to be a diagnosis, so do not panic if you develop the symptoms. If you notice any of the symptoms mentioned below, see a doctor immediately:
- Change in breast size – please don’t ignore this symptom. Ladies, this could be a change due to pregnancy or anything else that causes a shift in hormones. Even if it is not normal, do yourself a favor and see your doctor immediately.
- Redness or rashon the skin or around the nipple. Don’t be alarmed if the rash goes away. You should be worried if the rash stays there. This could mean that there is an underlying cause and you should see your doctor immediately.
- Change in skin texture – ladies, if you find any form of puckering, looking like the exterior part of an orange peel, see your doctor. Many women around the world don’t even know that this is a symptom of life-threatening disease.
- An inverted nipple, that pulls inward, like an inner belly button.
- Constant pain – this paincould be anything: your hormones being struck in that area or a bra that is badly fitted. But, if this pain stays there and it never goes away, see your doctor.
