There are several symptoms of breast cancer and more women need to be aware of these so that they can make an early diagnosis. Some of the symptoms of breast cancer are as follows:
- Increasing swellings or lumps seen in the breast or in the armpit are a symptom. Though this may also be due to hormonal changes, it might be better to get a check up done.
- Changes in the size and shape of the mature breast, especially if it is prominently noticed in one breast may be a concerning symptom.
- Fluid, not milk leakages from one nipple, especially in older women is a cause of concern.
Noticeable changes occurring in the size and shape of the nipple or not easily returning to its normal shape can be a symptom of breast cancer too.
Symptoms can be caused by cancer or by a number of less serious conditions. Early diagnosis is especially important for breast cancer because the disease responds best to treatment before it has spread. The earlier breast cancer is found and treated, the better a woman's chance for complete recovery.
