If any symptoms occur, you should seek examinations immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common symptom of breast cancer is a lump in either chest or armpit. When you check your breasts regularly, you will get to know your breasts and learn how to recognize new lumps and <ins>any <\/ins>other changes <ins>occurring <\/ins>in you<ins>r body<\/ins>. Most breast nodules (e.g. cysts) are benign, but all changes should of course be checked. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have already been diagnosed with breast cancer or if<ins> on the basis of your symptoms <\/ins>you suspect it, you can access Helena Puonti&#8217;s consultation quickly and without a referral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clinichelena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/rintasyovan-oireet-ja-tutkiminen-1024x683.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clinichelena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/rintasyovan-oireet-ja-tutkiminen-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Discovering breast cancer symptoms\" class=\"wp-image-24030\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.clinichelena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/rintasyovan-oireet-ja-tutkiminen-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.clinichelena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/rintasyovan-oireet-ja-tutkiminen-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.clinichelena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/rintasyovan-oireet-ja-tutkiminen-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.clinichelena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/rintasyovan-oireet-ja-tutkiminen-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.clinichelena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/rintasyovan-oireet-ja-tutkiminen.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The most common breast cancer symptoms \u2013 <ins>you should <\/ins>get any of these checked immediately!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common breast cancer symptoms include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A lump in the breast or underarm (armpit)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Retraction of the skin of the breast<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Any change in the size, shape or elasticity of a breast<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bleeding or a liquid discharge from the nipples<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A rash on the areola<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Retraction of the nipple<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Skin changes in the breast<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pain or swelling in a breast<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Infection <ins>in a breast <\/ins>without <ins>an accompanying <\/ins>pregnancy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you notice any of these symptoms, we would advise you to book an appointment with your doctor immediately for more detailed examinations to be carried out. &nbsp;All unclear breast symptoms or changes should be subjected to mammogram and breast ultrasound examinations (and a needle biopsy if necessary) to obtain an accurate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clinichelena.com\/en\/diagnostics\/\">diagnosis<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-uagb-columns uagb-columns__wrap uagb-columns__background-none uagb-columns__stack-mobile uagb-columns__valign-top uagb-columns__gap-10 align uagb-columns__reverse-mobile uagb-block-cbbf9d7a uagb-columns__columns-2 uagb-columns__max_width-theme\"><div class=\"uagb-columns__overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"uagb-columns__inner-wrap uagb-columns__columns-2\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-column uagb-column__wrap uagb-column__background-undefined uagb-block-f1fac249\"><div class=\"uagb-column__overlay\"><\/div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-custom-square\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clinichelena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Oire-10-kyhmy-logolla-300x300.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clinichelena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Oire-10-kyhmy-logolla-300x300.png\" alt=\"Lump in a breast\" class=\"wp-image-25503\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.clinichelena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Oire-10-kyhmy-logolla-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.clinichelena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Oire-10-kyhmy-logolla-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-column uagb-column__wrap uagb-column__background-undefined uagb-block-e8db18b4\"><div class=\"uagb-column__overlay\"><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A lump in a breast or an armpit <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common symptom of breast cancer is a lump in a breast or an armpit.

Self-monitoring of the breasts is important so that changes can be detected well in time. In Finland, women aged between 50 and 69 are invited to participate in mammography screenings every two years. This countrywide and effective breast cancer screening is carried out so that breast cancer can be detected as early as possible.  More than 80% of those invited participate in screening, and about two-thirds of breast cancers are found in the course of this regular screening. <\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedgallery

If there are enlarged, unclear lymph nodes in the armpit, a biopsy will also be taken.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column24542_30373f-ad > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column24542_30373f-ad > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column24542_30373f-ad > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column24542_30373f-ad > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column24542_30373f-ad > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column24542_30373f-ad > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column24542_30373f-ad{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column24542_30373f-ad > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column24542_30373f-ad > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column24542_30373f-ad inner-column-2\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><div class=\"wp-block-uagb-faq uagb-faq__outer-wrap uagb-block-e64eac41 uagb-faq-icon-row uagb-faq-layout-accordion uagb-faq-expand-first-false uagb-faq-inactive-other-true uagb-faq__wrap uagb-buttons-layout-wrap uagb-faq-equal-height     \" data-faqtoggle=\"true\" role=\"tablist\"><div class=\"wp-block-uagb-faq-child uagb-faq-child__outer-wrap uagb-faq-item uagb-block-cb6091db \" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"uagb-faq-questions-button uagb-faq-questions\">\t\t\t<span class=\"uagb-icon uagb-faq-icon-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox= \"0 0 448 512\"><path d=\"M432 256c0 17.69-14.33 32.01-32 32.01H256v144c0 17.69-14.33 31.99-32 31.99s-32-14.3-32-31.99v-144H48c-17.67 0-32-14.32-32-32.01s14.33-31.99 32-31.99H192v-144c0-17.69 14.33-32.01 32-32.01s32 14.32 32 32.01v144h144C417.7 224 432 238.3 432 256z\"><\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"uagb-icon-active uagb-faq-icon-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox= \"0 0 448 512\"><path d=\"M400 288h-352c-17.69 0-32-14.32-32-32.01s14.31-31.99 32-31.99h352c17.69 0 32 14.3 32 31.99S417.7 288 400 288z\"><\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"uagb-question\">Have you had your armpit examined yet?<\/span><\/div><div class=\"uagb-faq-content\"><p>The lymph nodes in our body and in our armpits are intelligent.<br><br>The first lymph node that cancer cells hit on their way from the breast to the armpit is called the &#8220;sentinel lymph node&#8221;.
