When To See A Doctor
Noticing a new breast lump, unusual pain, or changes in breast size can be unsettling, and it’s essential to seek medical attention promptly. If a lump is discovered, it’s crucial not to panic – most lumps are benign, but it’s always better to err on the side of caution.
Any unusual pain, especially if it persists, should also be checked by a healthcare professional. A doctor should be consulted if there’s any discharge from the nipple, especially if it’s bloody or occurs without squeezing.
Skin changes such as redness, scaling, or dimpling on the breast may indicate underlying issues and should be assessed by a healthcare professional. If swelling or a noticeable change in the contour of the breast is experienced, medical consultation is vital.
Regular screenings and consultations are recommended for women aged 40 and older or earlier if there are concerning symptoms or risk factors. Early detection is key in the fight against cancer.

A thorough and personalized assessment of breast health typically begins with an extensive review of medical history, followed by a clinical breast exam to identify any abnormalities.
