The chest is important for female friends, and everyone wants to have a perfect chest. However, we should be cautious not to focus only on the beauty of appearance. There are common secrets that should also be paid attention to. So, let's talk about the common secrets of the chest.
Do the breasts on both sides not look exactly the same?
This issue is not as serious as it seems. Many women who carefully examine their breasts will find that there is some asymmetry between the left and right sides. Just like the left and right faces of a person cannot achieve perfect symmetry. Putting in some effort and doing more exercise can bring about changes. However, it is worth noting that sudden changes in the size of one breast often indicate big trouble. Once discovered, seek medical attention immediately!
What are the early symptoms of breast cancer?
Between the ages of 30 and 40, the probability of women developing breast cancer is 1/250; while between the ages of 41 and 50, the probability increases to 1/67. However, with the improvement of early detection technology, the mortality rate of breast cancer has decreased significantly compared to the past. Please pay attention to the following early symptoms of breast cancer: the presence of new hard lumps or thickening in the breasts; changes in the size or shape of the breasts; rough or wrinkled skin; swelling, redness, or warmth in the breasts; persistent breast pain unrelated to the menstrual cycle; blood in breast secretions or discharge; inverted nipples; itching, pain, or keratosis in one nipple.
Is it common for the breasts to have secretions?
Having secretions from the breasts is a common issue. Most lactating women produce liquid when the nipples are squeezed. However, it is best to go to the hospital for examination when the following conditions occur: spontaneous appearance of secretions without external stimulation; frequent occurrence of secretions, only on one side of the nipple; presence of blood in the secretions. Blood-like secretions from the nipples are a more serious problem, with 45% being intraductal papillomas and other possible causes including fibrocystic changes, ductal dilation, or late pregnancy symptoms. There is also a 15% chance of it being breast cancer.
