Breast Cancer Symptoms - Five Warning Signs

Posted on August 10, 2008

What You Don’t Want to Hear

“You have breast cancer” are words that can put fear into anyone’s heart, and knowing breast cancer symptoms may help save your life. Women should follow their doctors recommendations regarding mammograms. Early detection of breast cancer means more treatment options and a better chance of cure.?/p>

What to Look For

While often breast lumps aren’t cancerous, the most common sign of breast cancer, for both men and women, is usually a thickening or lump in the breast. Generally, early breast cancer does not cause pain. Five warning signs include:

  • A change in the size or contours of your breast
  • Any flattening or indentation of the skin over your breast
  • A spontaneous clear or bloody discharge from your nipple, often associated with a breast lump
  • Retraction or indentation of your nipple
  • Redness or pitting of the skin over your breast, like the skin of an orange

A change in size or feel of your breast can be caused by a number of conditions other than breast cancer. Pregnancy and your menstrual cycle naturally changes breast tissue during that time. Fibrocystic changes, cysts, fibroadenomas, infection or injury are other possible causes of noncancerous (benign) breast changes. ?/p>

What Reduces Risk

Two molecules, touted as “miracle molecules”, help reduce the risk of breast cancer. These molecules are Resveratrol and Ellagic?Acid. A great source of these comes from grapes (red wine) and pomegranates. Supplementing your diet with these antioxidant molecules can have a significant effect on your chances of hearing those words “you have breast cancer”.

Genesis, by Symmetry Direct, contains in one serving the amount of resveratrol equivalent of one bottle of wine. You can find Genesis at http://www.symmetrydirectgenesis.com.
