Attention Brothers!
Posted on July 24, 2009 – 11:49 am -Please know that MEN also can get breast cancer. The symptoms are the same as for women. If you find any signs as listed below, see your doctor to get checked immediately. Look at and feel your breasts or pectoral muscles for any changes such as:
- A lump in the breasts or pecs, chest, collarbone, nipples, torso, or underarms.
- Discharge or fluid from the nipples that is bloody, clear, pus like, or smells bad.
- Skin changes that are bumpy, dark, different color, itchy, painful, rash-like, puckered, redness, sore/ulcer, shrunken, swollen, or tender.
Take charge of your health with these tips:
- Learn about your family’s cancer history as cancer of the breast, colon, ovaries and prostate are related and either side can carry the gene.
- Reduce your alchohol and fat intake, reduce your weight, and increase your exercise.
