To enroll or learn more, call Early Detection Works<\/em><\/strong> at 1-877-277-1368<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Every person should know the symptoms and signs of breast cancer, and any time an abnormality is discovered, it should be investigated by a healthcare professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Look for a change in how the breast or nipple looks or feels. A few things to pay attention to are…<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Is there a change in the breast or nipple appearance? These include…<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Any Nipple Discharge\u2014Particularly Clear Discharge Or Bloody Discharge?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It is also important to note that a milky discharge that is present when a woman is not breastfeeding should be checked by her doctor, although it is not linked with breast cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let your doctor know about any nipple discharge, clear, bloody or milky. The most concerning discharges are bloody or clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To learn more about the signs & symptoms of Breast Cancer, visit The National Breast Cancer Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A clinical breast exam is performed by a healthcare professional who is trained to recognize many different types of abnormalities and warning signs. This in-office exam is completed by your healthcare provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n During a clinical breast exam, your healthcare provider checks your breasts\u2019 appearance. You may be asked to raise your arms over your head, let them hang by your sides, or press your hands against your hips. These postures allow your healthcare provider to look for differences in size or shape between your breasts. The skin covering your breasts is checked for any rash, dimpling, or other abnormal signs. Your nipples may be checked to see if fluid is expressed when lightly squeezed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Using the pads of the fingers, your healthcare provider checks your entire breast, underarm, and collarbone area for any lumps or abnormalities. A suspicious lump \u2013the type your physician is checking for\u2013 is generally about the size of a pea before anyone can feel it in the breast tissue. The manual exam is done on one side and then the other. Your healthcare provider will also check the lymph nodes near the breast to see if they are enlarged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If a lump is discovered, your healthcare provider will note its size, shape, and texture. He or she will also check to see if the lump moves easily. Benign lumps often feel different from cancerous ones, but any lump found will likely need to be examined with further diagnostic measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It may be helpful to know that lumps that appear soft, smooth, round, and movable are likely to be either benign tumors or cysts. A lump that is hard and oddly-shaped and feels firmly attached within the breast is more likely to be cancer, but further tests are needed to diagnose the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Clinical Breast exams are an important part of early detection<\/strong>. Although most lumps are discovered through breast self-exams, an experienced professional may notice a suspicious place that fails to register as a warning in the patient\u2019s mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mon\u2013Thur:<\/em> 8am \u2013 7pm \u00a1HealthCore Clinic Directions<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n (316) 691-0249<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n After-Hours Immediate Care: (316) 261-8825<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Clinical Fax: (866) 514-0974![\"\"](\"https:\/\/healthcoreclinic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/EDW-Qualifiers.png\")
