🎀 OCTOBER IS BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH 🎀
Welcome to October — a month dedicated to creating awareness about breast cancer and reminding us that paying attention to our health matters.
Breast cancer can affect women and, although less commonly, men too. One important thing we can do is know our breasts and pay attention to changes that are unusual for us.
🚩 Changes that deserve medical attention include:
• A new lump or swelling in the breast or armpit
• A change in the size or shape of the breast
• Skin changes such as dimpling or unusual thickening
• A ni**le that becomes newly inverted
• Unusual ni**le discharge, especially if bloody
• Persistent changes that do not go away
Having one of these changes does not automatically mean you have breast cancer. Many breast changes have other causes. But it is important not to ignore something that is new or unusual.
Early detection can make a difference, so don't be afraid to seek professional medical advice when something doesn't feel right. 🩷
This October, let's replace fear with knowledge, awareness and action.
🎀 Know your breasts. Know the changes. Don't ignore your health.
