I feel some pain in my breast
is it possible it can be breast cancer if we just have one of the sign? i mean only underarm has a swollen thing but my breasts are fine.
@@itsshu3157 Yes, is COULD be, but you wouldn't know your breasts' condition without having them get checked. Please see your gynecologist or your primary care physician to get it checked as soon as possible. It is always important to get your breasts checked by your doctor yearly and do your self-exam monthly.
@@penelopeedidieasante6916 Please have it get checked, Penelope, by a gynecologist or primary care physician.
I hope and pray God protect us all from these diseases. And the sick be healed
It was so helpful and too understandable.Thank you so much.
Thank you for this kind comment, so glad that you found it helpful. 😊 Don't forget to do your self-exam after your period, which we didn't mention here but on our 'Breast Cancer Symptoms' video. All the best to you! 😊🌺
Hello dear!! presenter thanks you for interactive and life saving teaching approach.
Oh, thank you for your very sweet and kind comment! 🙏😊 We're glad that this video was helpful to you. Thanks for watching, thanks for being here. 😊
Thank you so much.It helps a lot and very informative.God bless
Thank you, Roberlyn! Glad that you found it helpful. Sending you much love!
Thank you
You're most welcome, Arusha!
I’m very concerned as I haven’t been doing these exams very long and I’ve noticed one or two of these red bumbs that are red and show a few vains. They are very tender and almost always on the side near the central area. Any idea what it is or if I should get it checked?
Yes, it is always good idea to get it checked before it is too late. It always better to be safe than sorry! Visit your gynecologist or your PCP can check it too. And please continue doing these monthly self-exams (after your period), so important! Thanks for being here! Definitely let us know, once you've seen your doctor. All the best.
I don't have any lump but pain and hard duct feel in my left breast
I am 22 year old .My left breast size is slightly short than right one and a lump in my left armpit and haven't feel any pain .plz guide it

Did you ever get it checked out?
Mam I have two babies one is 3.5years old and one is 11 months I m breast feeding my 11 months baby.. when after my first delivery after 3 months my one breast become small and the other one is normal And after 3 years it's same no changes one breast is small and the other one is normal.. so pls tell mam y this happend
okay so im really concern because i do get a lot of pain on my chest. and for nipples they sometimes get itchy n it concerns me a lot because i’m very young im 14 but my grandmother did have it so i’m not sure if i have as well.
Hello Valerie, glad that you're aware of that potential risk due to your grandmother. Is your grandmother from your mother's side, or from your father's side? Before being concerned too much, please watch our other video for exact signs and symptoms to look for when doing breast self-examination. Here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/4sgMODcc50k/v-deo.html Definitely watch that video and then write us again.
CancerEdInstitute my grandmother was from my dad’s side. And i just checked it out, so for example the invert nipple that’s does happen with actually is happens quite frequently actually, ever since my breast were growing. Thank you so much!
@@valeriem6672 Hi Valerie! You're most welcome. As for the inverted nipple, since you're only 14 years old, and your breasts are just growing, it is possible that the inversion of the nipple and pulling out is from a normal physiological function. Or, your nipples are by nature inverted. Continue to do your self-examination every month, keeping our videos/information in mind, or re-watching them until you get quite familiar with the symptoms and what to look for. OK? Always check with your doctor when in doubt, OK? Our work is informational and does not mean to give you a concrete answer without seeing you in person. We hope that make sense. Glad to have you here - let us know with how your routine self-examinations go! And let also your friends know, so that they can do their self-examination early on as well.
CancerEdInstitute okay i’ll keep that in mind thank you
@@valeriem6672 You're most welcome, Valerie!
Mam i had a lump under my left arm probably for months and never hurt but now i feel pain and after a day i got white discharge ...it is bigger in size inside wen pressed ..pls let me know...is this a symptm of cancer
Hello Madhavi, so the white discharge came from the lump under your left arm, not nipple right? If so, the white discharge might be pus caused by an infection, possibly if your hair grew inwards. But it is extremely hard to say online without seeing someone. Try to take the pus all out, disinfect the wound. See if you feel better in few days. To be sure, visit your doctor. Also, to better understand the symptoms of breast cancer, watch our 'breast cancer symptoms' video. There you'll also find pictures. Hope this helps.
Thank u soo much mam...☺
@@madhaviprasadh4159 You're most welcome, Madhavi! How is your infection under your arm? Have you taken all the pus out? Do you feel better now?
@@CancerEdInstitute s mam...its clear now...after taking the pus out which is in a form of small solid. Thanks for ur care mam
@@madhaviprasadh4159 Oh good, so glad! You're most welcome! This took quite long though; did it just came out? It doesn't hurt anymore, right? Make sure you disinfect it properly. Maybe go to a community health care facility, or see a doctor, or a pharmacist (not sure how it is in your country) but to make sure they disinfect and clean it properly, and that everything is OK. Just to be on the safe side.
Is it possible one can get de cancer by always sleeping lying on de same side mostly or always
I want to ask. That is it okay that breast size is slightly different from right to left
Hello Trishila, yes, pretty much every women's breasts are not equal in size with one another. However, please watch our 'Breast cancer symptoms' video to see whether or not any of those symptoms apply. If not, then it is probably natural. This is a general answer obviously, you should always do your yearly breast exam with your doctor and monthly exam yourself. Thanks for watching and please share and subscribe.
👍
I’m concern I have a bump around my nipple and it hurts. Is this a sign of breast cancer?
Hello Maria, please watch our 'breast cancer symptoms': ua-cam.com/video/4sgMODcc50k/v-deo.html If you still have questions afterwards, feel free to write us again. Thanks for watching!

Hi I have a feel a lump I'm my breast near to my arm pit is it a sigh of cancer am worried
Hello Michelle, it is hard to tell here online. Though we have another video, where we describe the clinical symptoms of breast cancer. Meaning, when you do your breast self-examination (BSE) what to look out for and WHEN you will need to do your BSE. Please check out that video first, then do your exam again, and then, please visit a gynecology specialist (or your PCP can do this as well) to check it for you. ua-cam.com/video/4sgMODcc50k/v-deo.html You didn't write your age, but based on your age, you should do a regular doctor's check-up on your breast as well. Let us know if you have any further questions.
I am 26 years old but am also wondering if it's because am on the birthcontrol pill (microgynon ) that the name how ever I did the BSE this morning.ive been on the pill from September 10, 2020 so am not sure if the pills could be q cause of it. My wats app number is 18764229803
@@michellepalmer6815 Hello again, Michelle! You've been on the pill only less than 2 months, is that right? Well, that's an extreme short time for a cause of a lump from pills. When you went to the doctor who prescribed you the pill, didn't they do an examination on your breasts? It is not imaginable that they didn't. Our best recommendation is to go to a gynecology (OBGYN) specialist to do an exam on you. This will help you to understand if you have a regular benign lump like most women or if it is something more serious. Only a doctor's exam can tell. It is impossible for us to say anything here online. Your best bet is to see a OBGYN specialist to exam your breasts.
@@CancerEdInstitute ok ..it was a doctors advise that I took the pills because I was having problems after stop taking the depo shots after a year so he recommended that I took the pills instead am gonna get it checked out that you got your advise n your time🙂
@@michellepalmer6815 Ah, so you took depo-shots before! OK then, definitely go to a OBGYN specialist and have your breasts checked. Thanks for writing us. Yes, long-term, the birth control shots and pills are not ideal in terms of breast cancer. Let us know after your doctor's visit, OK? All the best to you!
mam
I am facing pain in my right brest
dr said that is it not dangerous
there is a liquid cyst.
mam I am in great trouble.
skin is very soft but I am facing frequent pain. kindly suggest me what to do?
kinldy reply me as I need your suggestion
thanks in advance
Hello dear Abida, thanks for writing us! Please write your age. Also, if your doctor said that you have a liquid cyst and you shouldn't worry about, than this is correct. A liquid cyst in your breast is usually benign (non-cancerous). Pain in breast is usually normal and happens to all of us for many reasons. Definitely watch also our 'What are the symptoms of breast cancer?' video as well. There we explain what you should pay attention to when you do your breast self-examination, and WHEN you should do your breast self-examination. Hope this helps. All the best.
@@CancerEdInstitute mam
Thanks a bunch for you kindness.

@@abidaaziz919 You're most welcome, dear Abida! Definitely watch our other video too. All the best.
PS: Due to your age, you should do anyway once a year doctor exam too. And every month your breast self-examination (BSE).

Hello Ma'am! I am 38 years old unmarried female. Since few days i can clearly feel a small lump marble sized on my left breast above nipple towards left side. An overall left breast is more tighter and firm compared to right. Breast is tender and minor pain but feel no pain in lump though. Is it a serious concern. Kindly advice.
any updates?
Dense breast are important to be checked thoroughly, to ensure that there are not false positives or false negatives. Also, at your age, you should do yearly checkups on your breasts. Let us know if you went to see your doctor for analysis.
Hello mam ma ne January 2021 ma chekup krwaya tha altrasound k bad doctor ne btaya k koi problem ni ha bs apki breast sensitive ha.ab again mery breat ma pain ha.kia ye dangerous ha ya ni?ma pichly 5 sal ma 2 bar check up krwa chuki hon.1 he doctor se.
Hello, it is hard to understand what exactly the problem is, but from what we got from your writing is that you've got your ultrasound and your doctor said you've no issues, but your breast pain came on again. And you're asking is this a bad sign - correct? It is hard to say, breast pain can be due to several things. We'd suggest to go to another doctor and have your breast exam together with a mammogram done. It also depends on the age, lifestyle, and family's medical history. Hope this helps.
Mam i found a small, round lump 2lumps , no discharge, I m breast feeding mom my age 28,that lump is near under nipple small and another above nipple small.. No pain, no hard to touch, painless, plz say it's a cancer mam.. I m stresses nd worried.. I m breastfeeding now.
What did doc told you?
@@carolinemutua738 it's just a galactocele nothing to worry can operate nd minor surgery. It's not cancer cell. During breastfeeding it's common to get galactocele n breast
Mamm my brest size can change from one another its any sing of cencer????
Hello! Could you tell us your age? "In general", women's breast size pretty much never equal. However, in your situation, it really depends on many factors, for example, are you healthy, do you have breast cancer risk (meaning, did your mother, sister, grandmother etc have or had breast cancer?), do you drink alcohol, are you overweight, do you have other health issues, do you sleep well, eat well, have a good lifestyle, what's your age etc etc. If you can answer those questions, we can help further. Thanks for watching, greetings to you!
@@CancerEdInstitute age 24
Good life style an no drink etc

Dear Sunali, something is odd with UA-cam! We keep writing a reply to your question but it never shows up!! Here it is again:
Can you please tell us:
1) Do you still experience the same?
2) What is your age?
3) Do you have any risk of breast cancer? (Meaning, has/had your mother, sister, grandmother breast cancer or ovarian cancer? Or has/had anyone in your family cancer?)
4) Who is your lifestyle? Meaning, do you drink alcohol, do you smoke, are you overweight, do you eat well, sleep well etc?
Please let us know, and we'd be happy to help you! And please do not panic. Much love to you!
@@CancerEdInstitute hey there.. i am totally fine now.. i have gone to the doctor and it really helped me out.. there was just a mild swelling on the right breast and i am totally fine now.. There is no risk of breast cancer according to the mammography reports..Thnk u soo much for ur concern..🤗
how long u can have cancer and not know?
Impossible to say - changes from person to person and from cancer type to cancer type.
Can it will be possible at the age of 16 ????
Hello dear Anshita, thanks for your question and for your comment. It is hard to say, it is possible but in rare cases that depends on so many factors. If you could answer these questions, we can help you better:
1) Did your mother or sister have, or had breast cancer or ovarian cancer?
2) Do you drink alcohol?
3) Are you obese?
4) When you did your breast self-examination like in our video, did you felt, have you seen any of the mentioned symptoms?
Let us know, happy to help you!
Many greetings to you!
@@CancerEdInstitute no for all the question 😁
@@anshitarajput7438 :) Great! If so, AND if you did your breast self-examination and found NO changes, than you should be OK. We'll soon have another video, the symptoms of breast cancer.

Hello ma'am.. I'm 23 years old and I have 4×3 CM Fibroadinuma in my left breast.. Is it dangerous?..Is any solution for it expect surgery?... Does Fibroadinuma dissolve itself some time? Plz suggest
Hello Archana, we cannot simply suggest what to do without knowing your medical background and tests, but you can have the fibroadenoma removed for three reasons: 1) to have a peace of mind, 2) to know the pathology and confirm if it is truly Fibroadenoma, and 3) to avoid causing it to you problems later (e.g. it might grow larger and/or causing other issues). Depending on what they've seen, if it is a cyst, the surgeon may use a needle to remove the liquid, but if it is solid, then they'll remove it surgically. In general, fibroadenoma is common in women and it is not malignant (not cancerous), but you want to make sure that it truly is. Our suggestion is the following: 1) talk with your doctor about your concerns and that if he/she can explain you more in detail what to expect, and 2) if still in doubt, get a second opinion from a gynecologist. All the best to you, and keep us updated.
@@CancerEdInstitute thnk u so much for reply and suggestions.
