Common symptoms of breast cancer.
1, Breast pain: Early breast cancer, the only symptom of the breast is occasional pain, which can be dull pain or stretching, especially when lying on your side.
2, nipple discharge: nipple discharge can be caused by a variety of breast diseases. Among the symptoms of various breast diseases, its incidence is second only to breast lump and breast pain.
3. Breast lump: The most common breast cancer is a single lump of unilateral breast, while unilateral multiple lumps and primary bilateral breast cancer are relatively rare in clinic. But sometimes, after a breast cancer operation, the chance of a second primary cancer in the contralateral breast will increase.
4, breast skin changes: breast cancer skin changes have a lot to do with the depth and infiltration of tumor location. The lump is small and deep, and the skin remains unchanged. The lump is large and shallow, and it attaches to the skin earlier, which makes the skin appear depression and dimple sign. If cancer cells block subcutaneous lymphatic vessels and cause skin edema, orange peel degeneration is formed, which is a terminal manifestation. There are many signs of skin changes caused by breast cancer. If cancer cells block lymphatic vessels, there will be "orange peel-like changes", that is, there are many pits in the breast skin, just like orange peel. In the late stage of breast cancer, cancer cells infiltrate the skin along lymphatic vessels, glandular ducts or fibrous tissues and grow, forming scattered hard nodules in the skin around the main cancer focus, which are called "skin satellite nodules".
5, nipple changes: the average person's breasts are symmetrical on both sides. When there is cancer near the nipple, the nipple tends to pull up, so the height of the nipple on both sides is different. Nipple invagination is an important sign of breast cancer in the central area. It is difficult for fingers to pull out the nipple, and the nipple is in a fixed retraction state. Eczematous carcinoma is characterized by nipple erosion and scab; The boundary between lesion area and skin is very clear, and the boundary between lesion area and skin is very clear, and the lesion skin is thick. Abnormal nipple areola: The tumor is located in or near the nipple, which can cause nipple invagination. When the tumor is far away from the nipple and the large duct in the breast is invaded and shortened, it can also cause the nipple to retract or bulge.
6, breast morphological changes: under normal circumstances, breast morphology is a natural arc, if the arc is abnormal, we should pay attention to whether there is cancer.
7. Axillary lymph node enlargement: At the initial stage, ipsilateral axillary lymph node enlargement may occur, and the swollen lymph nodes are hard, scattered and pushable. With the development of the disease, lymph nodes gradually fuse, adhere and fix with the skin and surrounding tissues. Metastatic lymph nodes can be felt in advanced clavicle and contralateral armpit.

In addition, seaweed foods also have the functions of clearing away heat and toxic materials, softening and resolving hard mass. The study also found that kelp can relieve hyperplasia of mammary glands because it contains a lot of iodine, which can promote luteinization of follicles, thus reducing the level of estrogen in the body, regulating endocrine disorders and finally eliminating the hidden dangers of hyperplasia of mammary glands.
