Dr. Meenulochani Annadurai, Breast Surgery at Narayana Superspeciality Hospital, Howrah, goes through five breast changes that should be evaluated: a painless lump that is slowly increasing in size; nipple discharge, particularly when it is blood-stained or coming from a single point; skin changes such as redness, dark patches, an orange-peel texture or dimpling; a nipple that has newly turned inward; and a sudden change in the size or shape of the breast.
