Know About Symptoms of Breast cancer

breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in the world. Experts predict that not only women but also men can develop breast cancer but it's less common in men compared to women. Breast cancer can result from genetic abnormalities, infection or injury in the breast tissues, but not all breast cancers have identical genetic alterations.

The most general kind of breast cancer is ductal carcinoma cancer, which begins in the cells of the inner ducts. Breast cancer that begins in the lobes is simply known as lobular carcinoma and is more often found in both sides of the breasts than in other types of breast cancer. Inflammatory breast cancer is a rare breast cancer in which the breast is warm, red, and also inflamed.

Symptoms
Knowing the correct signs and peculiar symptoms of breast cancer can greatly increase your chance of survival. When this chronic disease is discovered in it's early stages, you have more treatment options and a better possibility for a cure.

Various potential symptoms of breast cancer include:

* A natural clear or bloody discharge from the nipples
* Retraction of your nipple
* A sudden change in the size of your breast
* Any flattening of the skin over your breast
* Redness of the skin over your breast

A large number of situations other than breast cancer can cause your breasts to change in contour or in how they feel. Breast tissue changes naturally occur during pregnancy and also during the menstrual cycle. Other possible causes of noncancerous breast changes include fibrocystic changes, cysts, fibroadenomas, infection or some injuries to the breast.

If you ever find a lump or experience other changes in your breast, even if current mammogram results were good, see your physician or expert doctor for a full check-up or thorough evaluation. If you haven't gone through menopause, you may want to wait for one menstrual cycle before seeing your specialist. If the change hasn't gone away after a month, have it evaluated promptly.
