At present, more than 90% of the breast cancer patients we see have painless lumps, some of them have lumps of 10cm or more and even breast ulcers before they come to the hospital, some of them have found lumps for several years, but because they are not painful or itchy, they do not come to the hospital and miss the best time for treatment. It is a great pity to lose the chance of cure. Therefore, if you find a painless lump during your monthly self-examination, you should be highly alert and go to a regular hospital breast specialist in a timely manner.
Bloody nipple overflow is also a common sign of breast tumor and should be seen in time after detection.
Other suspicious signs include orange peel-like changes of breast skin, dimple sign, sudden nipple invagination, etc., which should also be paid high attention.
