What to look out for
There are a number of symptoms you should look out for, including:
- a painless lump in the breast close to the nipple (the most common symptom of breast cancer in men)
- a change in the size or shape of your breast
- a change in the nipple
- discharge from the nipples
- any unusual pain
- a change in the skin of your breast.
Having these symptoms may not mean you have cancer, but it is important to check.
If you find a change in your breast that is new or usual for you, yarn with your doctor, nurse or Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander health worker.
