Visual changes in the breasts may be signs of cancer development, said Oncologist Ashley Pariser of Ohio State University. These include inverted or downward-pointing of the nipple, wrinkling and thickening of the skin, loss of sensation, and discharge. In this respect reports Daily mail.
It is stated that most cases of breast cancer are not accompanied by a tumor appearance that can be detected by touch. The doctor explained that the symptoms of the disease may be visual. Pariser recommends examining your breasts regularly, feeling the skin from the armpit to the collarbone using semicircular and circular motions.
Changes that indicate cancer include rash, redness and scaling of the breasts and nipples, shape changes (downward or retracting), wrinkling or thickening of the skin, and decreased sensitivity. Another warning sign is the presence of discharge from the nipple.
The oncologist added that self-examination should be done regularly. This is because the structure and appearance of the breasts may differ on different days of the menstrual cycle. If there are uncharacteristic changes, it is recommended to consult a breast specialist as soon as possible.
