Mondo Health Updated on 2024-01-29

The initial symptoms of breast cancer may not be obvious, but symptoms such as lumps and discharge should be vigilant.

Early breast cancer usually has no obvious symptoms, and as the disease progresses, symptoms such as breast lumps, nipple discharge, breast ** changes, and inverted nipples may appear.

These symptoms may also be associated with other benign breast diseases, and breast cancer cannot be diagnosed based on symptoms alone.

Breast lumps are one of the most common symptoms of breast cancer, and most patients seek medical attention because they are discovered inadvertently or during a physical exam.

The lump is usually located in the outer upper quadrant, near the side of the arm, and is hard and has undefined edges, and gradually becomes larger over time.

Nipple discharge may occur in a variety of conditions, but a bloody discharge with a single orifice is more likely to be malignant and should be taken seriously if accompanied by a breast mass.

*Alterations are another common symptom of breast cancer, including dimple sign, cellulite changes, satellite sign, etc.

*Symptoms such as ulcers, inflammatory changes, and eczema-like changes, although rare, develop rapidly and have a poor prognosis when they appear.
