🎀 Early Detection of Breast Cancer
🎀 Early Detection of Breast Cancer
Early detection can help identify breast cancer at an earlier stage, when treatment options may be more effective and outcomes can be better.
How do we start?
1️⃣ Know what is normal for you
Be familiar with the normal look and feel of your breasts, and pay attention to any new changes while showering, getting dressed, or looking in the mirror.
There is no need to follow a specific day or a strict monthly self-examination routine; what matters most is knowing what is normal for you and noticing any unusual change.
2️⃣ Pay attention to unusual changes
Consult a healthcare provider if you notice any of the following:
• A new lump or thickening in the breast or underarm.
• A change in the size or shape of the breast.
• Skin changes such as dimpling, redness, or retraction.
• A new change in the nipple, including recent inversion.
• Unusual or bloody nipple discharge.
3️⃣ Do not wait for pain
Some breast cancer lumps may be painless. Therefore, do not delay seeking medical advice if you notice a lump or any unusual change, even if there is no pain.
Although many breast lumps are not cancerous, medical evaluation is the appropriate way to determine the cause.
4️⃣ Consult a healthcare provider if you notice any change
The evaluation may include reviewing your medical history, performing a clinical examination, and arranging appropriate tests when needed.
5️⃣ Ask about the screening that is right for you
Mammography is one of the most important tools for early detection among age groups for whom screening is recommended. However, the appropriate age and timing may vary depending on age, risk factors, medical history, and the screening guidelines followed in your country.
🎀 Do not ignore any unusual change.
Awareness, early consultation, and timely access to diagnosis can make a difference.
At HEART, we believe that health awareness is part of protecting women and supporting their access to the right information and appropriate care at the right time.
