Patient's question:
I gave birth to my child in 2008, and since then, a small amount of white milk has been squeezed out of my right breast. During this period, I had an abortion, which was a multi-cavity leakage~~painless~~~. In 2009, I went to the hospital for a breast ultrasound because of a lump in my right armpit. The examination showed no problems··Why is there still milk coming out now?Doctor's answer:
Early-stage breast cancer, once discovered, has a high likelihood of being cured with timely treatment, and the harm to the patient is also minimal. Early treatment of breast cancer significantly impacts the patient's prognosis and has a direct relationship with reducing the mortality rate of breast cancer. In the past, Western medicine primarily relied on surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, and immunotherapy for the treatment of early-stage breast cancer. However, with the continuous research and development of integrated Chinese and Western medicine in the prevention and treatment of tumors, such as the development and clinical application of ginsenoside Rh2 (Hulimeng) with a content of 16.2%, traditional Chinese medicine and herbal medicine have also played a greater role in the treatment of breast cancer. Below, we answer your questions. The main early symptoms of breast cancer are: 1. Some early-stage breast cancer patients may not yet be able to feel a clear lump in the breast, but often experience local discomfort, especially postmenopausal women, who may sometimes feel mild pain or discomfort in one breast, or heaviness, aching, or discomfort in the shoulder and back on the same side, even extending to the upper arm on that side. 2. Early breast cancer may present as a bean-sized lump that is hard and movable. Generally, there is no obvious pain, though some may experience intermittent dull pain, aching, or stinging pain. 3. Changes in breast appearance: Visible elevation of the skin over the lump, sometimes with localized skin appearing like orange peel, or even edema, discoloration, or eczema-like changes. 4. Nipple retraction near the center. Mild indentation of the breast skin (medically known as "inverted nipple syndrome"), nipple erosion, nipple asymmetry, or thickening, roughening, or enlarged pores of the breast skin (medically known as "orange peel syndrome"). 5. Nipple discharge: Bloody or serosanguineous discharge should be particularly noted and further examination is recommended. 6. Regional lymph node enlargement, with axillary lymph node enlargement on the same side being the most common. Enlargement of supraclavicular lymph nodes already indicates an advanced stage. G9
