Recognizing the signs of breast cancer early can significantly improve outcomes. Look for changes in the breast such as a lump, swelling, or changes in size or shape. Other signs may include changes in the skin, like dimpling or redness, or discharge from the nipple. It’s also important to be aware of any persistent pain in the breast. Regular self-examinations and mammograms can help in early detection. If you notice any of these signs, consult your GP immediately. Early diagnosis is crucial.
