Nipple Changes and Discharge
The nipple may retract, incline, or produce unusual discharge, especially if blood is present. These are important warning signs.
Tip: Note any sudden changes in the nipple’s appearance or secretions.
While not always cancer-related, such modifications may point to mammary gland alterations that require careful assessment.
Tip: Do not self-diagnose; consult a gynecologist or breast specialist.
Discharge, retraction, or swelling may appear gradually, so monitoring your breasts regularly is key.
Tip: Include nipple inspection in your monthly self-exams. To understand the significance of lumps or swelling in the armpit, see next page.
