Changes In The Breast
Changes in the breasts can occur due to a variety of reasons, including hormonal changes, pregnancy, and ageing. Some changes may be benign, while others may be a sign of breast cancer. It is important to be aware of changes in the breasts and seek medical attention if there are any concerns. In early cases, treatment options include lifestyle changes, medications, langhana, pachana, anulomana and shodhanas. Pachana is emphasised here in order to remove all deep-seated toxins. Apart from these, upgraded nutrition and personalised herbal protocol, individual therapies include Vamanna, Virechanam, Vasti and so on. Many cases might need to be seen as secondaries and a practitioner should find and treat the primaries in order for true healing.
Growths or thickening of the breast or armpit
Growths or thickening of the breast or armpit: Breast cancer can sometimes present as a lump or thickening in the breast or armpit. These lumps may be painless, hard or soft, and can vary in size. It is important to get these checked out by a healthcare provider for further evaluation.
Puckering, dimpling or other changes in the skin of the breast
Puckering, dimpling or other changes in the skin of the breast: Sometimes breast cancer can cause changes in the skin texture or appearance, such as puckering, dimpling, redness or scaling. These changes may be caused by the tumour pulling on the skin from the inside and can be an important sign of breast cancer.
Newly retracted nipples or bleeding or discharge from the nipple
Newly retracted nipples or bleeding or discharge from the nipple: Any new changes in the nipple, such as retraction, bleeding, or discharge, can be a sign of breast cancer. It is important to have these symptoms evaluated by a healthcare provider.
Changes in the size or shape of the breast
Changes in the size or shape of the breast: Breast cancer can cause changes in the size or shape of the breast. This may be due to the tumour growing and pushing on the surrounding tissue or due to the tumour pulling the breast tissue inwards. It is important to get any changes in breast size or shape evaluated by a healthcare provider.
