2. Understanding Early stage of breast cancer in young women
Breast cancer develops when abnormal growths in the breast grow irregularly, forming a tumor. Although older age is a significant risk factor, breast cancer can also affect women in their 20s, 30s and 40s. Young women often face difficulties in early detection due to fewer safety tips and less awareness about their personal risk behavior. Be aware of the following early symptoms of breast cancer to follow timely medical intervention.
3. Breast lump or thickening
A noticeable lump or thickened area in the breast or armpit is often the first sign of breast cancer. It may feel different from small surrounding changes and persist over time.
4. Changes in breast size or shape
There should be an obvious change in the size, shape or condition of the breast. This includes any swelling, cyanosis or distension that is not related to the menstrual cycle.
5. Breast Pain or Discomfort
Occasional breast pain symptoms may occur, but if you experience persistent breast pain or discomfort, you should be evaluated by a healthcare provider.
