class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is an important correction: <strong>there is no reliable rule saying breast cancer always causes symptoms one year before diagnosis.<\/strong> In fact, early breast cancer often causes <strong>no noticeable symptoms at all<\/strong>, which is why appropriate screening is so important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, knowing what changes to watch for can help you seek medical attention sooner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1\ufe0f\u20e3 A New Lump or Thickened Area<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A new lump in the breast or armpit is one of the best-known warning signs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It may feel:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Firm or hard<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Different from the surrounding tissue<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fixed or less mobile<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Located in the breast or underarm<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But don&#8217;t panic if you find a lump. <strong>Most breast lumps are not cancerous.<\/strong> They can also be caused by cysts, hormonal changes and other benign conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2\ufe0f\u20e3 Changes to the Skin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pay attention to a new or unusual change in the skin of the breast, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\ud83d\udd34 Redness<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Swelling<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thickening<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dimpling or puckering<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scaly or irritated skin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A texture that looks different from the rest of the breast<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A persistent change deserves medical evaluation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3\ufe0f\u20e3 Changes to the Nipple<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watch for changes that aren&#8217;t normal for you, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The nipple suddenly turning inward<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A change in its shape or direction<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unusual crusting or skin changes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Discharge that isn&#8217;t breast milk<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Especially <strong>bloody nipple discharge<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These symptoms don&#8217;t automatically mean cancer, but they shouldn&#8217;t simply be ignored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4\ufe0f\u20e3 A Change in Breast Size, Shape or Persistent Pain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One breast becoming noticeably different from the other, unexplained swelling, or a persistent change in shape can be a reason to get checked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Breast pain can have many causes and <strong>is not usually caused by breast cancer<\/strong>, but persistent or unexplained pain should still be discussed with a healthcare professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u26a0\ufe0f The Most Important Thing to Remember<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>You don&#8217;t have to wait for a symptom to appear.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some breast cancers are found on screening before a person notices a lump or any other change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s why women should discuss the appropriate timing of mammography and other screening with their healthcare professional based on their <strong>age, personal risk and family history<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2764\ufe0f Don&#8217;t Ignore Changes\u2014But Don&#8217;t Panic Either<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finding a lump or noticing a change <strong>does not mean you have cancer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The right response is simple:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Notice the change \u2192 contact a healthcare professional \u2192 get the appropriate evaluation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And remember, the claim that your body necessarily shows breast-cancer symptoms <strong>one year before cancer develops is misleading<\/strong>. Breast cancer can be silent in its early stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83c\udf80 <strong>Knowing your normal breast appearance and getting appropriate screening can help detect problems early.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The viral image claims that your body may show warning signs one year before breast cancer appears.
