What are the symptoms of breast cancer in the latent stage?

Breast cancer can cause great harm to women. In the early stages of the disease, you must pay attention to disease prevention and care. If the patient has symptoms such as lumps, pain, nipple changes, etc., you must go to the hospital for relevant examinations as soon as possible to avoid further deterioration of the disease. So what are the symptoms of breast cancer in the latent period? Let’s find out.

? 1. Lump

??? For adult women, any palpable lump in the breast must be taken seriously to rule out the possibility of cancer.

??? The growth rate of breast cancer is generally slow, but it can be fast or slow. It grows faster during pregnancy or lactation. The tumors can be large or small. The smaller they are, the less chance they have of metastasis and the greater the chance of cure.

??? 2. Pain

??? Most patients do not feel pain at the beginning, and only a few patients have local pain of varying degrees, mainly dull pain, pulling pain or needle-like pain, which are mostly paroxysmal and only in the late stage will persistent pain appear.

??? 3. Local skin changes

??? When cancer tissue invades the skin, it can cause local sinking of the skin, forming the so-called "dimple" symptom; when cancer tissue invades the surrounding subcutaneous tissue, small subcutaneous nodules may form, and when the small nodules fuse, it is called "armor-like cancer"; when cancer invades the skin and breaks the skin, ulcers are formed.

??? 4. Nipple changes

There are two main changes in the nipple. One is that the nipple retracts, deepens, becomes fixed, or slightly elevated. The other is nipple discharge, which may be pure bloody, serous, milky, or watery.

I hope this introduction to the symptoms of breast cancer in the latent period will be helpful to everyone. In daily life, female friends should especially do a good job in disease prevention and care. Once you feel any discomfort, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible. Don’t wait until the disease worsens to regret it. Early detection and diagnosis of the disease will help the cure of the disease.
