What is the early sing and symptoms of breast cancer?

What is the early sing and symptoms of BREAST CANCER?

Definition:-  When cells of the breast begin to grow out of control, these cells usually form a tumor that can often be seen on an x-ray or felt a lump.  The tumor is malignant if the cell can spread into surrounding tissue or spread to the distal organ of the body.  

First you should know the anatomy of the breast as seen on the image below.

As you know our motto of this blog is to understand in easy way so I don’t make this blog boring as other have lots of information and lots of pages, charts etc. etc.  about breast cancer. I make it in simple way to understand.

In India we have now increasing numbers of patient of breast cancer day by day especially in younger age group. The reason behind this increasing breast cancer patient is lack of awareness. In rural area there is more number of case of breast cancer than urban because of lack of information regarding the cancer. As you know in rural area patient come when there is any symptoms they find or any abnormal changes occur in breast than they consult the physician (stage 2 or 3)

So lack of awareness of breast cancer that’s leads to increase number of breast cancer in young women. In this blog you can help to other women to aware about breast cancer and how to self-examination of breast or to detect about any abnormalities found in breast

What are the risk Factor for breast cancer ?

Age: - The risk for breast cancer is increase with age. Most breast cancer are diagnose after 50 years of age

Genetics: - women who have inherited changes are more likely to develop breast cancer and ovarian cancer.

Early menstrual period: - women who start their period before the age of 12 are exposed to hormone longer, raising the risk of breast cancer in small amount.

Late or no pregnancy: - having the 1^st pregnancy after the age of 30 and never having full term pregnancy have more chance to devolve breast cancer.

Starting  menopause after age 55: - Like starting menses early, being exposed to oestrogen hormone for longer time in life also raises the risk of breast cancer.

Not being physically active: - women are not physically active have higher risk of breast cancer.

Being overweight: - older women who are higher weight or obese are more risk devolving breast cancer than a normal weight.

Tacking contraceptive pills: - certain forms of contraceptive pills have been found to raise breast cancer risk.

Family history of breast cancer: - the risk of breast cancer is higher if her mother sister or daughter has history of breast cancer.

Drinking alcohol: - studies show  that the women’s breast cancer are increase if she take more alcohol regularly.

Now we discuss about how to self examine or to detect any abnormalities in breast

There are five step

Step 1: - Begin by looking at your breast in mirror with your shoulders up straights and your arm on your hips.

Now look closely for breast that is the usual size shape and colour. Breast is evenly shape without any distortion or swelling.

If you see any of the following changes consult your physician

1.     Dimpling, puckering, or bulging of skin

2.     A nipple that has change position or inverted nipple

3.     Redness, soreness, rash and swelling

Step 2: - Now raise your arm and look for the shame changes

Step 3: - While you’re at mirror, look for any sing of fluid coming out of nipple.

Step 4: - Next, feel your breast while lying down, using your right hand to feel your left breast and than feel your right breast with help of left hand. Use firm, smooth touch with the 1^st few fingers pads of your hands, keeping fingers flat and together. Use circular motion, about the size of quarter.

Follow the pattern to cover the whole breast. You can begging with nipple moving the larger and larger until you reach outer border of breast. Find any lump or swelling in breast with hand pressure according to tissue.

Step 5: - Finally, feel your breasts while you are standing or sitting. Many women find that the easiest way to feel their breasts is when their skin is wet and slippery, so they like to do this step in the shower. Cover your entire breast, using the same hand movements described in step 4.

If you find any abnormalities than consult your physician. Further investigation and treatment are according to stage of cancer. if you have any question do let me know in the comment and please follow my blog for health related topic in easy and simple way to understand.

MEASLES : CAUSES, SYMPTOMS AND TREATMENT

MEASLES

DEFINATION: - Measles is highly contagious acute respiratory viral disease with a characteristic clinical picture, rash and a pathognomonic enanthem KOPLIK’S SPOT

CAUSES:-

Measles is a highly contagious illness caused by a virus that replicates in the nose and throat of an infected child or adult. Then, when someone with measles coughs, sneezes or talks, infected droplets spray into the air, where other people can inhale them.

The infected droplets may also land on a surface, where they remain active and contagious for several hours. You can contract the virus by putting your fingers in your mouth or nose or rubbing your eyes after touching the infected surface.

SYMPTOMS:-

The sing and symptoms of measles are appear around 10 to 14 days  after exposure to measles virus

·        Fever

·        Dry cough

·        Runny nose

·        Sore throat

·        Inflamed eyes (conjunctivitis)

·        Tiny white spots with bluish-white centers on a red background found inside the mouth on the inner lining of the cheek — also called Koplik's spots( as seen in picture)

·        A skin rash made up of large, flat blotches that often flow into one another

RISK FACTOR INCLUDE:-

UNVACCINATED: - If you haven’t received vaccines than you’re much more like to develop a disease. 

Traveling to internationally: - In developing country measles is common so if you travel to developing country than there is higher chance to catching the disease.

Vitamin A deficiency: - you are more likely to have more severed sing and symptoms if you don’t have enough vitamin A in your diet.

COMPLICATION:-

Ear Infection: - most common infection of measles is ear infection

Inflammation: - Measles may leads to inflammation of voice box(larynx)

Pneumonia: - Is common complication of measles that is some time fatal

Encephalitis: - encephalitis may occur right after measles. In about 1 into 1000 people may develop inflammation of brain.

Pregnancy problem: - If you're pregnant, you need to take special care to avoid measles because the disease can cause preterm labor, low birth weight and maternal death.

 PREVENTION: -

In 2011, 6.7 million did not receive measles vaccine in India. This could be the cause of measles outbreaks that leads to registered 29,339 measles case in India. But measles not restricted to children, adult too can develop measles.  

VACCINATION:- Routine measles vaccination for children, combined mass immunisation campaigns in country with low routine coverage, are key public strategy to reduce global measles death.

MR Vaccination program by INDIA

India, along with ten other WHO South East Asia Region member countries, have resolved to eliminate measles and control rubella/congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) by 2020. In this direction, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare has initiated measles-rubella (MR) vaccination campaign in the age group of 9 months to less than 15 years in a phased manner across the nation. The campaign aims to cover approximately 41 crore children.

The Measles-Rubella campaign is a part of global efforts to reduce illness and deaths due to measles and rubella/CRS in the country. Measles immunization directly contributes to the reduction of under-five child mortality, and in combination with rubella vaccine, it will control rubella and prevent CRS.

All children from 9 months to less than 15 years of age will be given a single shot of Measles-Rubella (MR) vaccination during the campaign. Following the campaign, MR vaccine will become a part of routine immunization and will replace measles vaccine, currently given at 9-12 months and 16-24 months of age of child.

For those children who have already received such vaccination, the campaign dose would provide additional boosting to them.
