On Women’s Health Day, many oncologists have shared expert advice on the initial signs of breast cancer. Breast cancer is the most common cancer seen in women around the world, and timely detection can significantly increase the chances of a successful treatment. Early signs of breast cancer can include the presence of a new lump or thickening in the breast or underarm area, breast pain or tenderness that is not related to menstrual cycles, changes in breast size, shape, or appearance, nipple changes, abdominal bloating, pelvic pain or discomfort, feeling full quickly while eating, abnormal vaginal bleeding, pelvic pain or pain during intercourse, and/or unusual vaginal discharge.
It is important to be mindful of these signs and to carry out self-breast examination on a regular basis to look for any potential changes. It is also recommended to get screened by a mammogram once a year, starting at the age of 45. Modern treatments have also revolutionized the way breast cancer is tackled, with total breast removal becoming outdated and only lump removal showing equal outcomes. This is accompanied by a strong focus on breast reconstruction and functional and cosmetic rehabilitation.
SARVASVA HEALTH is an organisation striving to provide comprehensive cancer care, which involves treating the disease in addition to reshaping the life of the patient on a psychological, physically and medically level. Their main mission is to ensure everyone affected by cancer can live a risk-free life with plenty of confidence.
On International Women’s Health Day, these professionals urged women to be proactive and to not ignore the potential warning signs of breast cancer, including the appearance of a new lump or harshness in the breast, nipple discharge, inversions or ulcerations, redness of the skin, changes in the shape or size of the breast, and/or pulling in the nipple or agony in the nipple region. If any of these signs are noticed, it is important to seek medical attention right away in order to increase the chances of a successful treatment.
Overall, the importance of early breast cancer detection and treatment cannot be understated, and SARVASVA HEALTH aims to ensure that individuals affected by this disease can experience a cancer-free life full of confidence. With a combined approach of regular screening, self-breast examination, and understanding the early signs of cancer, we can make progress towards reducing the risk of breast cancer-related death.
