Breast cancer is one of the most common form of the disease in the world that affects both men and women. The chances of getting the disease increase as you age, but detecting it at an early age could be life saving. In this post I am going to discuss signs and symptoms of breast cancer that many people overlook.

The majority of breast cancer cases are diagnosed in people who are aged 40 and up, but in the instances where it affects younger people it tends to be more aggressive. This makes early detection an essential part of treating the disease within its onset stages.

It’s important to have a firm grasp of bodily knowledge, as the earliest stages of breast cancer usually come without pain. The most common indicator is the discovery of a lump, but cancer goes through multiple progressive stages before these lumps form. It sometimes takes years, so people shouldn’t rely solely on lumps to indicate breast cancer, as they usually indicate an already thriving disease.

There are several signs that the American Cancer Society claim should be analyzed closely by a specialist. It is important to remember that these signs aren’t definitive proof of existing breast cancer. They can sometimes indicate smaller hormonal or health factors, so visiting an expert can clear any ambiguity. Some of the more obvious signs are:

• Change in breast structure
• Appearance of lumps
• Changes in the skin or nipple

Here are a few of the sneakier breast cancer indicators that many people overlook:

1. Back pain

• Back pain is usually attributed to muscle pain, inflammation of the spine or stretching of the tendon or ligament in the back. Sometimes, tumors can be felt in the spine and ribcage, because they developed deep within the breast tissue.

2. Itching, redness and pain

•  For women, if you notice that your breasts continue to be core and sensitive even after your period, it could be a sign of something more serious. Inflammatory cancer may cause swelling, itching, and pain in the chest.

3. Pain and tenderness in the armpit

•  According to studies, the first place breast cancer spreads is the axillary lymph nodes. Swollen lymph nodes in the armpit or pain and tenderness could signify the presence of a tumor before it becomes noticeable in the breast.

4. Changing shape (from a circle to oval)

• The best way to detect such changes is by learning about the size and shape of your breasts. Experts usually suggest that you sit in front of a mirror and analyze the structure of your breast.

5. Nipple discharge or changes

• A nipple discharge of clear liquid, blood, or milk that doesn’t happen during breast feeding might also be a sign. This happens when a tumor forms in the milk duct on the nipple or behind it. 

Don’t forget to do this often to make sure you don’t miss any sudden changes in appearance. Any of these symptoms should be analyzed by a medical professional for a conclusive verdict. If not professionally examined you’ll be left in a worrying state of uncertainty. Hopefully everything is fine, but even if it isn’t, detecting breast cancer in the earlier stages could very well make your chances for survival exponentially better.
