Due to the regular use of mammography screening, most breast cancers in the U.S. are found at an early stage, before warning signs appear.
However, not all breast cancers are found through mammography.
Warning signs
The warning signs of breast cancer are not the same for all women.
The most common signs are a change in the look or feel of the breast, a change in the look or feel of the nipple and nipple discharge.
If you have any of the warning signs described below, see a health care provider [17-19].
If you don’t have a provider, one of the best ways to find a good one is to get a referral from a trusted family member or friend.
If that’s not an option, call your health department, a clinic or a nearby hospital. Your insurance company may also have a list of providers in your area.
In most cases, these changes are not cancer.
For example, breast pain is more common with benign breast conditions than with breast cancer. However, the only way to know for sure is to see a provider and get checked.
If you have breast cancer, it’s best to find it at an early stage, when the chances of survival are highest.
Breast lumps or lumpiness
Many women may find their breasts feel lumpy.
Breast tissue naturally has a bumpy texture.
Some women have more lumpiness in their breasts than others. In most cases, this lumpiness is no cause to worry.
If the lumpiness can be felt throughout the breast and feels like your other breast, then it’s probably normal breast tissue.
Lumps that feel harder or different from the rest of the breast (or the other breast) or that feel like a change should be checked. This type of lump may be a sign of breast cancer or a benign breast condition (such as a cyst or fibroadenoma).
See a health care provider if you:
- Find a new lump (or any change) that feels different from the rest of your breast
- Find a new lump (or any change) that feels different from your other breast
- Feel something that’s different from what you felt before
It’s best to see a provider if you are unsure about a new lump (or any change).
Although a lump (or any change) may be nothing to worry about, you’ll have the peace of mind it was checked.
If you’ve had a benign lump in the past, don’t assume a new lump will also be benign. The new lump may not be breast cancer, but it’s best to make sure.
Nipple discharge
Liquid leaking from your nipple (nipple discharge) can be troubling, but it’s rarely a sign of breast cancer.
Discharge can be your body's natural reaction when the nipple is squeezed.
Signs of a more serious condition (such as breast cancer) include discharge that:
- Occurs without squeezing the nipple
- Occurs in only one breast
- Is bloody or clear (not milky)
Nipple discharge can also be caused by an infection or other condition that needs treatment.
If you have any nipple discharge, see a health care provider.

My name is hoover, my 18 year old daughter, Tricia was diagnosed with herpes 3 years ago. Since then, we have moved from one hospital to another. We tried all kinds of pills, but every effort to get rid of the virus was futile. The bubbles continued to reappear after a few months. My daughter was using 200mg acyclovir pills. 2 tablets every 6 hours and 15g of fusitin cream. and H5 POT. Permanganate with water to be applied twice a day, but all still do not show results. So, I was on the internet a few months ago, to look for other ways to save my only son. Only then did I come across a comment about the herbal treatment of Dr Imoloa and decided to give it a try.
