Tenderness in that area

Are these almost sure signs of breast cancer.? also, I'm 15, if that makes any difference.Health Question & Answer


Answers:
At 15 the chances of having breast cancer are close to zero. It's mainly a disease of ageing - 80& of those diagnosed with it are over 50, only around 5% are under 40 and it's almost unheard of in under 25s.

The American Cancer Society and other cancer organisations recommend that women start breast self-examination at the age of 20.

No, none of the things you describe are symptoms of breast cancer.

Your breasts are still growing and developing and what you describe is almost certainly hormonal.

Hitting and pinching breasts does NOT cause breast cancer.

Please don't be scared, there's no need.; have a talk to your mother or your school nurse for reassurance.

not necessarily, normally if you feel a lump or there are any changes in your breast you need to have it checked out. inverted nipple, change in color,any type of drainage, any type of change. it wouldn't hurt to have things checked out. its just probably hormonal changes in your body. but do go get checked just to be on the safe side. good luckHealth Question & Answer

These symptoms in a girl aged 15 are most likely signs of hormonal changes associated with adolescence.

The chance of this being cancer is practically nonexistent.

If you are really concerned seeing a Dr as that is the only way to get an accurate diagnosis.Health Question & Answer
