Your breasts change during pregnancy to get ready for nursing. Breast tissue becomes denser. This may make it more challenging to identify breast cancer-related alterations. The most common sign of breast cancer is a lump. If a change continues after two to four weeks, let your doctor know. Research indicates that once pregnant women start exhibiting breast symptoms, there may be a delay in diagnosis. According to medical professionals, your treatment should be as similar as feasible to that of a non-pregnant individual. Additionally, therapy shouldn't be delayed whenever possible.
