Patient's question:
What is the reason for the lump and pain in the breast of an elderly woman? Is it pancreatic cancer? It was discovered three days ago.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that you go to a reputable hospital for a definitive diagnosis as soon as possible. The following content is for your self-check:1. Some early-stage breast cancer patients may not yet be able to feel a distinct 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 and aching in one shoulder or back, even extending to the upper arm on that side.
2. Early-stage breast cancer may present as a bean-sized lump in the breast, which is relatively hard and movable. Generally, there is no obvious pain, though some may experience intermittent dull or pricking pain.
3. Changes in breast shape: Visible swelling or elevation of the skin over the lump, sometimes with an orange-peel-like texture, or even edema, discoloration, or eczema-like changes.
4. Nipple retraction near the center. The breast skin may appear slightly sunken (medically known as "inverted nipple"), nipple erosion, nipple asymmetry, or thickening and roughening of the breast skin with enlarged pores (medically known as "orange-peel syndrome").
5. Nipple discharge: Bloody or serous bloody discharge should be given special attention for further examination.
6. Regional lymph node enlargement, most commonly in the axillary lymph nodes on the same side. Enlargement of the supraclavicular lymph nodes already indicates advanced stages.
In fact, many breast cancer patients can regain a healthy life. This is because they have used ginseng essence extract, ginsenoside Rh2 (Hupu Ming, 16.2%), in their adjuvant treatment. Ginsenoside Rh2 can effectively regulate the human immune system, inhibit tumor cell proliferation, and has certain preventive and therapeutic effects on malignant tumors such as breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, and glioma. It is suitable for tumor patients, severely ill individuals, and the elderly or frail.
