Symptoms of postmenopausal breast cancer

The main symptoms were painless and solitary mass in the breast. The mass is hard, the surface is not smooth, and the boundary with the surrounding tissue is not clear, so it is not easy to be pushed in the breast. Breast pain is not a common symptom of breast cancer, most women's breast pain is physiological, only because of breast pain and clinical treatment of breast cancer patients is very rare.

Nipple discharge can be bloody, serous and purulent, but most patients with nipple discharge are benign lesions, which are common in ductal dilatation and intraductal papilloma. However, the possibility of malignant transformation of intraductal papilloma cannot be ruled out without surgical biopsy.

Nipple and breast skin changes are more common in advanced breast cancer, manifested as inverted nipple and abnormal pointing, skin edema and "orange peel" changes, and "dimple sign" formed by inverted breast skin.

matters needing attention

We advocate "three early" (secondary prevention) "three early", namely early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment, which plays an important role in the prevention of breast cancer. With the development of health services, establishing and improving the death reporting system and strengthening the construction of primary health care units are the key to the "three early detection" of breast cancer. Primary health care should grasp the risk population of breast cancer, register and make regular observation, so as to improve the opportunity of "three early" and achieve the purpose of prevention.
