Is cellulite in the breast a sign of breast cancer?

Women need to pay attention to cellulite on their breasts, because it may be one of the symptoms of breast cancer. As a woman, you should go to the hospital for a formal examination as soon as possible to see what causes the cellulite on the breasts. In addition, women should not worry too much, because not all cellulite phenomena are necessarily breast cancer. A comprehensive judgment should be made based on other symptoms. Of course, the most authoritative way is to go to a large hospital for examination.

1. Although some early breast cancer patients cannot feel a clear lump in the breast, they often have local discomfort, especially postmenopausal women. Sometimes they feel mild pain and discomfort in one breast, or heaviness, soreness and discomfort in one shoulder and back, and even involve the upper arm on that side.

2. In the early stage, a bean-sized lump can be felt in the breast, which is hard and movable. There is generally no obvious pain, and a few have paroxysmal dull pain, dull pain or stabbing pain.

3. Changes in breast appearance: The skin at the site of the lump may be seen to be bulging, and some local skin may appear orange peel-like, or even edematous, discolored, or have eczema-like changes.

4. The nipple is retracted near the center. The breast skin has a slight depression (medically known as "dimple syndrome"), nipple erosion, nipple asymmetry, or the breast skin is thickened and coarsened, and the pores are enlarged (medically known as "orange peel syndrome")

5. Nipple discharge: If the discharge is bloody or serous, special attention should be paid to further examination.

6. Regional lymphadenopathy, most commonly in the ipsilateral axillary lymph nodes. Supraclavicular lymphadenopathy is already in the late stage.

When a woman has cellulite on her breasts and the above symptoms, it is very dangerous and she may have breast cancer. Of course, if it is discovered early, the survival rate of breast cancer is generally very high, and cancer cells can be killed through chemotherapy and other treatments. As a woman, you must take care of your breasts and learn the corresponding self-examination methods.
