We need accurate knowledge, not fear, about breast cancer. Although factors such as heredity, lifestyle, and obesity increase the risk of the disease, it can be detected early through regular screening.
Studies show that a diet rich in vegetables and exercise can help reduce the risk of breast cancer. If you experience symptoms, do not self-medicate, but see a gynecologist or oncologist and seek expert advice.
Not all changes in the breasts are cancerous, but if you notice the following symptoms, it is important to see a doctor immediately:
Painless Lumps: Painless, firm lumps in the breast or underarm. This is the most important symptom of breast cancer.
Changes in the size or shape of the breast: One breast may be larger than the other or may have an unusual shape.
Skin changes: The skin on the breast may become dimpled, red, or thickened like a wart.
Nipple changes: Inverted nipple, peeling or itching of the skin around the nipple.
