110 names for boobies! Hurray for boobs!

Firstly – lets start with what is a breast?

The breast is the tissue overlying the chest (pectoral) muscles.

Women’s breasts are made of specialized tissue that produces milk (glandular tissue) as well as fatty tissue. The amount of fat determines the size of the breast.

The milk-producing part of the breast is organized into 15 to 20 sections – called lobes.

Within each lobe are smaller structures, called lobules, where milk is produced. The milk travels through a network of tiny tubes called ducts. The ducts connect and come together into larger ducts, which eventually exit the skin in the nipple. The dark area of skin surrounding the nipple is called the areola.

Connective tissue and ligaments provide support to the breast and give it its shape. Nerves provide sensation to the breast.

The breast also contains blood vessels, lymph vessels, and lymph nodes.

What are the signs of breast cancer?

The earlier breast cancer is diagnosed, the better the chance of successful treatment. So it’s important to check your breasts regularly.

 

There are many different signs and symptoms of breast cancer, so checking your breasts for any unusual change is important.

Common breast cancer signs and symptoms include:

• Rash, crusting or changes to the nipple.
• A lump or swelling in the breast, upper chest or armpit. You might feel the lump, but not see it..
• Any unusual discharge from either nipple.
• Changes in the size or shape of the breast.

Pain in your breasts is not normally a sign of breast cancer, but it can be if it is associated with other symptoms.

While most pain is not a symptom, it’s important to look out for any pain that is unusual and persists over a period of time.

Noticing an unusual change like these doesn’t necessarily mean you will get breast cancer, but it’s important to get checked out if you are worried.

Checking your breasts only takes a few minutes and there’s no special technique and you don’t need training to check your breasts, but remember to check the whole breast area, including your upper chest and armpits.
