IBC stands for ‘Inflammatory Breast Cancer’. This is one term not every one of you will be aware of. Reason behind this is the fact that it is one of the rarest diseases. Yes, it is a sort of breast cancer, which can be fatal as well.

In this blog post, we will discuss about it thoroughly and get to know few important symptoms of this disease.

You must have heard many women saying they often get rashes on their breasts. You must have also heard women saying that they sometimes feel a burning sensation on their breasts. If you known one such woman, then call her and ask her to consult a breast cancer specialist as soon as possible, because it could be IBC.

Well, with this I don’t intend to scare you, but my intentions are to make more and more people aware of this life taking health problem.

See, what makes IBC a deadly health issue is that its symptoms are so common that most of the people ignore it. Obvious people don’t get bothered when any woman claims she has rashes on her breast. We (most of us) assume it to be some allergy or seasonal skin problem.

Huh! But dare not take such things so easy. They can be way bigger than mere allergies.

Breast cancer is something horrifying so here we are going to give you the information that will separate the facts from myths. Usually it is seen that women gets nervous on the sight of lump on their breast. Every lump does not indicate that you have breast cancer. It could be due to hormonal change and might go by itself within a month or so. Sometimes infection or cyst formation could also be a reason of the formations of lump.

The breast cancer symptoms vary widely. It involves swelling and even the change in skin color. Sometimes breast cancer does not even involve any lump formation or swelling or skin change, it occurs silently.

In some cases it is observed that there is a formation of lymph in or around underarm area. Formation of lump, redness, change in the size of nipple, and pain in breast are few noticeable changes that could be due to breast cancer therefore if you observe any it would be good to consult a medical health expert. Diagnosis can only be done after physical examination claims that a women is suffering from breast cancer. The symptoms mentioned earlier could also be due to some other reasons. The results of these physical examinations take up to 2 weeks but it is better to wait than to be in dilemma.

Earlier the diagnosis done easy be the treatment and there are good chances of you beating up the disease, therefore if you observe any such changes consult immediately to a doctor and overcome your stress.

Breast cancer is considered as few of the most lethal diseases known to us. But something that makes it the most dangerous one is the fact the sufferer couldn’t identify, if she is suffering from such a disease.

It comes so quite that it hardly shows any sign. This is the reason why most of the sufferers come to know about it in the later stages of the disease.

The number of sufferers of this disease is gradually increasing every year (globally). Hence, awareness about this is must, as that is the only way to prevent it.

In this blog post, few most prominent symptoms of breast cancer have been discussed:

* Slow change in breast- There’ll be a slow but sure change in the shape and the size of the breast

* Dimpling- Getting dimples on breast skin is also a major sign of breast cancer

* Nipples- Turning in of nipples is another sign of breast cancer.

* Getting rashes on or around the nipples is another prominent sign if this disease

* Swelling- It does happen in case of breast cancer.

If you or any of your known is experiencing any of the above mentioned problems, then get yourself examined immediately. Delay of even one hour can be dangerous.

If found positive with breast cancer, stick to the expert’s advice. Do what your doctor asks you to. Don’t apply your own brain in the treatment.

In this fast world, sometimes, it becomes very difficult to find time for yourself. You get so busy that you start ignoring yourself. But that ignorance can be life taking.

Yes, I mean it. Don’t be scared, as I don’t intend to scare you. I just wanted to share the truth.

We all know that pain in nipples is a common problem. There are many women who face this pain very often. However, very few of them rush to their doctors immediately, which isn’t a very positive indication.

Do you know that pain in the nipples is a prominent symptom of breast cancer? And this pain gets started weeks after one has adopted this disease.

This doesn’t just go with nipple pain. Alike pain in nipples, there are several other general physical problems, which can be lot more than what they seem. I’ve mentioned few of the general problems, which can be sign of breast cancer:

* Breast swelling
* Swelled armpit
* Discharge from nipples
* Retracted nipples

These are the most common signs of breast cancer. If you or any of your known has experienced any of these, then immediately get yourself checked by some experts.

Another point that I’d like to put forward is that breast cancer is such a disease, which doesn’t show any intense symptom initially, so if you find even a bit of any of the above signs, rush to a doctor.

In the case of breast cancer, this disease doesn’t show any particular symptom, as if there is any lump develops, earlier it may be quite small to be felt or it doesn’t cause any unusual changes, which you can notice on you. Usually in this case, an affected area gets change on a screening mammogram and it goes on further diagnosing.

However, in few cases, things are different as the very sign of breast cancer is a new lump or a mass and it can be felt either by yourself or by your doctor. To recognize lump, which is right symptom of breast cancer, you can check as if it is not giving any pain, stiffness and with uneven edges, then possibly it is a sign of breast cancer. But it is not required that cancer should be hard always as it can be soft and rounded as well sometime.

So, you can’t justify easily with cancer symptoms by yourself, and it is advisory that if you feel something like that, immediately get a checkup from a doctor. A study has come up from an American Cancer society, which says that some sort of changes in breast can be assumed as a symptom of breast cancer. That study has highlighted some of them.

* Swelling over breast’s some part or overall breast.
* Pain in breast
* Turning nipple inward or pain in nipple
* Redness or hardness of nipple or breast skin
* Dimpling or skin irritation
* Nipple discharge except milk
* Any producing lump near breast

But still, it is advised if these kinds of symptoms you experience in your body part go promptly to a doctor and get it checked.
