Know the Signs of Breast Cancer
Most breast lumps aren’t cancerous.
Yet the most common sign of breast
cancer for both men and women is
a lump or thickening in the breast.
Other signs include:
- a spontaneous clear or bloody discharge
from your nipple
- your nipple turning inward
- a change in the size or contours of
your breast
- any flattening or indentation of the
skin over your breast
- redness or pitting of the skin over your
breast, like the skin of an orange.
If you find a lump or other change
in your breast and haven’t yet gone
through menopause, you may want to
wait through one menstrual cycle before
seeing your doctor. If the change hasn’t
gone away after a month, have it evaluated
promptly.
To schedule a mammogram, contact
the Breast Care Center at South Central
Regional Medical Center at 601-426-4090.
The center is accredited by the American
College of Radiology.
