Radiologist shares 5 common breast cancer signs most women overlook: ‘If it looks like an orange peel, get it checked'
Many women unknowingly overlook subtle signs that could be early indicators of breast health issues. From minor changes in skin texture to unexpected discomfort, these symptoms often go unreported until it's too late. Breast imaging expert highlights subtle signs of cancer patients often ignore. (Pexels) "In my 15 years of experience as a breast radiologist, I've seen countless cases where early warning signs were overlooked or dismissed. While most women diligently check for lumps during self-examinations, I frequently encounter patients who've ignored other critical symptoms for months or even years. As someone who interprets thousands of mammograms and breast imaging studies annually, I want to share the subtle signs that often slip under the radar but deserve immediate attention," says Dr Namrata Singal Sawant, a Mumbai-based senior radiologist. She further shared with HT Lifestyle 5 subtle symptoms you shouldn't ignore and why early detection matters. 1. Changes in breast texture and appearance One of the most significant findings I encounter in my practice is architectural distortion, changes in breast skin texture that many patients attribute to normal ageing. The most common early signs of the same are: Any dimpling or puckering of the skin can suggest an underlying carcinoma pulling the skin or Cooper's ligament. Characteristic orange-peel appearance (peau d'orange) can be a sign of inflammatory breast carcinoma. Shrinking of the size of any one of the breasts. This can be seen in some lobular carcinomas, which are difficult to diagnose. Increase in the size of the breast. We must be aware of the natural asymmetry of our breasts, if any. Any increase in the size of the breast, especially asymmetrical, must be viewed with caution. We must contact our medical professional about this. Nipple changes and lymph node evaluations are often overlooked yet crucial in diagnosing breast cancer.(Pexels) 2. Nipple changes and discharge Nipple changes often provide crucial diagnostic clues that patients initially overlook. Nipple discharge, particularly when unilateral, spontaneous and blood-stained, has led me to identify high-risk lesions and early-stage ductal carcinomas. Nipple retraction. Some ladies give a history of their nipples being inverted from childhood. However, if the nipple retraction is a new finding, then it must be looked at with suspicion. Nipple directional changes or scaling. Many of the ductal abnormalities, like papillomas, papillary carcinomas, atypia, dysplasia, DCIS or even Intraductal carcinomas can present with any of the nipple symptoms. With the help of advance technologies especially high resolution ultrasonography, MRI and DR mammograms these diagnosis can be made at and much earlier stage. Further evaluation with guided biopsies are suggested. 3. Any lump in the armpits From my experience interpreting breast MRIs and ultrasounds, lymph node evaluation is a critical component that patients rarely consider during self-examinations. I've diagnosed several cases where palpable lymph nodes were the presenting symptom, leading to the discovery of occult breast cancers that weren't detectable through conventional screening. My clinical advice: Any palpable lump in the armpits must be evaluated with ultrasonography and SOS, as well as further investigations like FNAC, biopsy, mammography, MRI, etc. Even primary breast cancers are found in the axillary tail of the breast, which is found in the armpit. Any lymph node that remains palpable for more than two weeks, especially if it's firm, fixed, or progressively enlarging, requires immediate imaging evaluation with ultrasound and possible tissue sampling. 4. Any skin discolouration over the breast In my radiological practice, inflammatory changes represent some of the most challenging cases to diagnose early. Inflammatory breast cancer, while rare, can initially present as simple skin irritation that patients often treat with topical remedies for weeks before seeking medical attention. Through my imaging experience, I've learned that skin changes that don't respond to conservative treatment within 1-2 weeks, particularly when accompanied by breast swelling or warmth, require immediate evaluation with specialised imaging protocols. I've diagnosed several cases of inflammatory breast cancer where patients initially attributed symptoms to allergic reactions or skin conditions. 5. No signs at all I can not stress enough this last point that most of the breast cancers can only be caught at an early stage with the help of screening. Screening implies the patient does not have any complaints and still gets a routine checkup, and a mammography is done. According to the recommendations by the Breast Imaging Society of India (BISI), annual screening mammograms are recommended for those between the ages of 40 and 70. In case of high-risk individuals with a family history of breast cancer or BRCA 1 or 2 genes positive amongst others, the screening starts at a much earlier age. After years of interpreting breast imaging and counselling patients, I cannot stress enough the importance of trusting your instincts about your body. In my practice, I maintain an open-door policy for patients who notice changes, no matter how minor they may seem. Also, the take-home message again is that to diagnose this disease early, we must understand the importance of screening protocols and consult our medical professionals for annual clinical breast examinations.

Health coach shares 5 Indian snacks that can make you insulin resistant: Digestive biscuits, roasted makhana and more
Nikita Bardia is a health and fitness coach who keeps sharing important insights related to diet and fitness on her Instagram profile on a regular basis. From how to eat right and live better, to how to avoid the lifestyle habits that can sabotage health, Nikita's Instagram profile is replete with inspo for her followers. On July 26, Nikita shared an Instagram post explaining how Indian snacks that we think are healthy, might be sugar in disguise. Also read | Say goodbye to afternoon slump in office: 5 nutritious snacks to boost your energy Indian snacks that we think are healthy, might be sugar in disguise. (Unsplash) 'We've been brainwashed into believing anything labeled baked, roasted, low-fat, or organic is better for us. But here's what I tell my clients who can't lose belly fat or constantly feel tired. It's not your meals, it's your snacks that are silently building insulin resistance,' Nikita wrote. 1. Roasted chana / makhana / millet mixtures (with masala or sweet coating) They're marketed as high protein, but the added jaggery, salt, and repeated roasting in palm oil can lead to carb bomb with trans fats What to eat instead: Pair makhana with nuts and ghee or eat plain, not flavoured. 2. Low-fat or sugar-free protein bars Most are ultra-processed, high in maltitol, fructooligosaccharides, and synthetic fiber. These spike insulin without real nutrition and bloat your gut. What to eat instead: Make your own with nuts, seeds, dates; 3-ingredient style. Sugar-free protein bars can spike insulin levels.(Unsplash) 3. Flavoured Greek yogurt / fruit yogurt Even the healthy ones have more sugar than ice cream. Artificial flavours and no fat can lead to poor satiety, which can trigger sugar craving rebound. Also read | Nutritionist explains how protein-rich snacks can maintain weight and support heart health: 'Avoid mindless munching' What to eat instead: Go for plain full fat dahi and add berries, cinnamon, soaked seeds. 4. Digestive biscuits, granola clusters, ragi chips High glycemic load and low protein can lead to classic insulin trap. Digestive biscuits have more sugar than glucose biscuits in some cases. What to eat instead: Replace with 2 soaked walnuts and a small fruit or homemade trail mix. 5. Jaggery-based bars / snacks marketed as diabetic friendly Jaggery, honey, coconut sugar are still sugars. Repeated intake can trigger high insulin, energy crashes, carb cravings. What to eat instead: Learn to spot real whole foods vs disguised marketing. Also read | Is your child obsessed with sugary food?
