What are the symptoms of breast tumors?

What is the condition of having a tumor on the breast? Everyone needs to pay attention to and understand which symptoms appear in life. Especially in recent years, many women are vulnerable to breast diseases. If we do not pay attention to these common sense and understand these symptoms, we will not be able to take timely treatment solutions, and the impact and harm caused will become more serious.

1. Painless mass: often the first symptom, characterized by invasive growth of the mass. Even if the lump is very small, it may cause skin adhesion if it involves the suspensory ligament of the breast. Larger lumps may have symptoms such as skin edema, orange peel-like changes, nipple retraction or depression, and lymphadenopathy; skin satellite nodules and even ulcers may appear in the later stages. Experts from Changchun Union Hospital said that this disease should be differentiated from benign breast lesions such as inflammatory masses, breast hyperplasia and benign tumors in the early stages.

2. Nipple discharge: It is rare for breast cancer to have nipple discharge as the only symptom, and most cases are accompanied by breast lumps. Generally, the discharge is more bloody and bloody is common.

3. Nipple changes: When the fibrous tissue and duct system of the breast are infiltrated by the lesion and shortened, the nipple is pulled and deviates toward the side of the tumor. Further progression of the disease may cause the nipple to become flat, retracted, or inverted, or even completely sink under the areola, making the nipple invisible. Sometimes, due to contracture of the fibrous tissue in the breast, the entire breast is lifted, and clinically it can be seen that the nipples on both sides are not at the same level. Nipple erosion is a typical symptom of eczematous carcinoma.

4. Local skin depression, like a dimple, is called the "dimple sign". In addition, direct adhesion of the tumor to the skin may also cause this situation. The dimple sign can appear at an early stage of breast cancer and is more obvious when the affected arm moves up and down.

The above are some symptoms and common sense about breast tumors. I hope that after these introductions, everyone can have a more scientific understanding of these diseases. At the same time, we should also remind ourselves to do a good job of prevention and health care in life, and protect our breast health to stay away from the influence of more diseases.
