Tumors or any other irregularities in the breasts.
Explanation:
Self examining your breasts is important, even when you don't suspect anything is wrong because then you will develop an idea of what your breasts usually feel like. With that idea in mind, then irregularities will be clear to you if/when they appear in a self exam. Irregularities that could be detected include, lumps which could be benign or malignant tumors, small bumps like cysts, and uncommon pain/tenderness,
breast lumps and other worrisome changes in the breast
Explanation:
Performing a "breast self-exam" is<em> crucial</em> in detecting<em> early signs of breast cancer. </em>Early detection gives one a chance to have an early treatment that is mostly successful.
If a woman notices a breast lump, it is important to call the doctor about it. This is coupled with other screening methods that are used to check for signs of breast cancer. Most of the breast lumps are <em><u>non-cancerous</u></em>, so it's important not to panic. Other signs that need a doctor's attention are: <em>dimpling, swelling, puckering, uneven breasts, bulging of the skin, fluid coming out of the nipple(s), etc.</em>
<h2>How is it treated?</h2><h2>Elevate the site as much as possible to help reduce swelling.</h2><h2>Apply a warm or cold compress (depending on the fluid) for 30 minutes every 2-3 hours to help reduce swelling and discomfort.</h2><h2>Medication-If recommended, medicine for extravasations is given within 24 hours for best effect.</h2>
