Breast Cancer Awareness Month 💗 | Know the Signs, Check Yourself!

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the UK, with nearly 50,000 women diagnosed each year.
Thanks to advances in medicine and greater awareness, more women than ever are surviving. Early detection is key — the sooner breast cancer is diagnosed, the better the chances of successful treatment and recovery.

Breast cancer can occur at any stage of life, so it’s important to check your breasts regularly — ideally once a month — and be familiar with what’s normal for you.

🔍 It’s not just lumps, be aware of these other signs:

• Dimpling, puckering, or bulging of the skin
• Redness, soreness, rash, or swelling
• A ni**le that has changed position or become inverted
• Clear or bloody fluid leaking from the ni**le
• Constant pain in the breast or armpit

How to check your breasts:
1. Look in the mirror with arms on hips
2. Raise your arms and look again
3. Lean forward and check for skin changes
4. Check for ni**le discharge
5. Feel your breasts lying down
6. Feel while standing or sitting (many prefer doing this in the shower)

If you notice anything unusual, don’t panic - most changes aren’t cancer. But it’s always best to speak to a doctor.

📞 How to book an appointment
You can book a consultation at our One-Stop Breast Clinic at Nuffield Health Derby Hospital by calling 0300 790 6190 or emailing deoutpatientsbookingemail@nuffieldhealth.com

🎗️🩷 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month 🩷 🎗️

This is the first in a series of posts shining a light on the importance of breast awareness and early detection.

Being breast-aware is vital. While most breast symptoms aren’t caused by cancer, it’s always best to get any changes checked by a specialist. Some signs to look out for include:

• A lump or thickening in the breast
• Changes in breast size or shape
• Inverted ni**les or ni**le discharge
• Skin dimpling or puckering
• Persistent pain in the breast or armpit
• Swelling around the collarbone or underarm

If something doesn’t feel right — don’t wait. Early reassurance or diagnosis can make all the difference.🩷

Did you know that men are generally less likely to seek medical help than women? Traditional ideas about masculinity and the fear of bad news often hold men back from check-ups, which can mean missing early signs of health issues.
