Women have a tendency to suffer from a number of diseases and ailments throughout different stages of their lives. A now common form of disease that is enwrapping women is breast cancer. Here, the cancer cells are activated in the breast and can end up having detrimental consequences, including death. Several medical research work and awareness programs have helped immensely to reduce death rates. Among all, it is estimated that the women of the USA suffer from the highest rates of breast cancer. This happens almost every year to a large chunk of the population around the world.


Cancer stems out of abnormal growth of a tumor, i.e. an increase in the number of a particular form of discarded cells that do not die and continue to multiply. Such malignant cells can grow anywhere in the body. The disease could also be genetic at times. The most commonly acknowledged form of visible breast cancer is that of a lump that is formed in and around the breast. Doctors check the possibility of such lumps whenever one pays a visit, for it is a very common symptom that is easily detectable. However, little do people know that there can be several other symptoms of identifying breast cancer. Listed here are a few of them.

Pain
Sudden painful sensations felt in the breast, medically known as mastalgia, could be an outcome of breast cysts, excessive stress, or hormonal imbalances. Breast cancer can also lead to the inflation of the affected breast.


Nipple contraction
Women suffering from breast cancer might have a probable tendency of contraction of nipples that can even get withdrawn inwards.

Skin dimpling
It is a form of skin irritation which may look like a perforated orange peel and is a probable sign of breast cancer.

Scaliness
Breast cancer distorts the color and texture of the skin by making it look old and crumpled, and at times, flaky.

Size abnormality
Generally, women do have a slight difference in the size of their breasts, but what is abnormal is the sudden enlargement or contraction of the affected breast in a largely visible form.

Abnormal nipple discharge
When the nipples give out milk and there are other liquids that are discharged, it is a sign of serious medical ailment and needs a doctor’s supervision.

Enlarged lymph nodes
Lymph nodes under the armpits could swell up as a sign of breast cancer. Although it could also be a symptom of lymphoma, it is recommended to have a clinical test. Increase in the number of hard and swollen lymph is a sign of tumor.

Sudden weight loss
A generic symptom of cancer is weight loss and breast cancer could lead to a similar condition in an abnormally fast pace.

Lookout for these symptoms in your body and get regular checkups done to remain healthy.
