From time to time, a woman or her doctor may find breast changes, such as:

• A lump
• Lumpiness
• Any change in the shape of the breast or dimpling of the skin
• An area that feels different to the rest
• Discharge from the nipple
• A pulling in of the nipple (know as nipple inversion or retraction)
• Pain

When they find a change, many women are concerned that it might be breast cancer, even though this will not be true in most cases. However, all experts agree that women should have any problems in their breasts carefully investigated as soon as possible. If it is a cancer, finding it early will mean a much better chance of effective treatment.
