If you wait until they look different, their appeal isn’t going to matter.

I think it’s any age after your period….not sure.
They look the same, but here’s the method:
Move your finger in a circular motion over your ****** (while in the shwer)
find a sign for any bumps. thats the symptom
Remember, it never hurts to check in with your doctor. You might be scared. but it’s something you need to do,.

almost any age, sometimes, there’s a palpable lump, sometime’s the ****** is hard, ****** is mishapen or different from the other, occ ****** discharge, some cases have an “orange peel” skin texture, not orange, just the small indentions like the orange. might have some redness, but, these can all be later stages, not always early. not always painful either…

Good question!
A woman who has ****** cancer may have no problems, or she may find a painless lump in her ******. If women examine their ******* monthly, they can help find lumps or other changes that a doctor should examine.
Most ****** lumps are not cancer, but all lumps should be checked out by a doctor to be sure. ****** lumps that are not cancer may be scar tissue or cysts (fluid-filled lumps or sacs) or they can be due to normal ****** changes associated with hormone changes or aging.
Girls who are beginning puberty might notice a lump underneath the ****** when their ******* start developing. Usually, this is a normal. You can ask a parent or your doctor about it to be sure.
Sometimes a doctor will discover a lump in a woman’s ****** during a routine examination or a patient might come to the doctor with questions about a lump she found. In other cases, a mammogram (say: ma-muh-gram) may find a lump in the ****** that can’t be felt. A mammogram is a special kind of X-ray of the ****** that helps doctors see what’s going on inside. Sometimes, other kinds of pictures, like an MRI, can also be taken.
When a lump is found, the doctor will want to test it. The best way to do this is usually with a biopsy. In a biopsy, a small amount of ****** tissue is removed with a needle or during a small operation. Then, the tissue is examined under a microscope to look for cancer cells.
It’s important you know the symptoms whcih are:
A spontaneous clear or bloody discharge from your nipple, often associated with a ****** lump
Retraction or indentation of your ******
A change in the size or contours of your ******
Any flattening or indentation of the skin over your ******
Redness or pitting of the skin over your breast, like the skin of an orange
Remember that you can get ****** cancer at any age but it is most common after a girl gets her period…
so basically the older she is, the chances of her getting ****** cancer gets higher.

The Same, If you see a lump or unusual growth on one of your ****** you should have yourself tested imediatly.

I’m a 16 year survivor of ****** cancer. The doctor after several mammograms, saw a misshapen cyst on the film. He recommended that I undergo a biopsy, “just to be safe”. The biopsy was fine. . . no malignancy, but he didn’t like the way the cyst was misshapen misshapen so we decided to have the cyst removed, “just to be safe”. They tested the sample from the cyst and flesh that was surrounding it. . . and it revealed that behind the cyst was a tumor that tested malignant. Fortunately for me, the timing was right. . . the tumor was inside a duct within the back of the ******. . . no outside lump or anything visible from all the tests I had done. The actual surgery, that removed the cyst. . . revealed the tumor that was hiding.
My doctor/surgeon. . . gave me the best advice. .. you have to keep asking. .. doctors don’t always have all the answers, you have to keep asking. . . Fortunately my timing was good. The tumor was inside the duct and had NOT spread. A few days/weeks might have resulted in a different outcome.
My ****** looked the same. . . still does. . . there is a small scar below the ****** You got to keep asking. . . see your doctor, get those mammograms yearly. . . I DO.

Although almost anything is possible, 75% of ****** cancer occurs in women after their periods have stopped, not after they began. At 25 years old the risk is 1 in 20,000 and is almost unheard of any younger than that. This is why mammograms are recommended at age 40.
The ******* usually do not look different unless the disease is very advanced. Few women have any symptoms at all when they are diagnosed and the majority of those that do have a lump in the ******.
The point of screening exams is to find the disease before there are any symptoms and it is in an early stage. If you are having yearly exams and mammograms you should have little to worry about. If you find a lump between exams see your doctor.

Monthly ****** self-exams should always include: visual inspection (with and without a mirror) to note any changes in contour or texture, and manual inspection in standing and reclining positions to note any unusual lumps or thicknesses. Early Cancer ****** Symptoms usually does not cause pain and may cause no symptoms at all. It is normally found when a suspicious lump is detected. It must be about the size of a finger tip before it can be felt. Other signs of Cancer ****** Symptoms include
