2. Unexplained Breast Swelling
Some women notice one breast becoming larger than the other without a clear reason.
Swelling may occur even when no lump can be felt.
This can sometimes be associated with inflammatory changes that require medical evaluation.
Watch for:
- Persistent enlargement
- Feeling of heaviness
- Tightness in the breast tissue
3. Skin Redness That Doesn't Go Away
Temporary redness may occur due to irritation, allergies, or infection.
However, redness that persists for weeks should not be ignored.
Some forms of breast cancer, particularly inflammatory breast cancer, may cause:
- Redness
- Warmth
- Swelling
- Tenderness
These symptoms can resemble a breast infection.
