Remember, not all changes mean cancer, but awareness is key.
Nipples can tell a story about your breast health.

For instance, if a nipple suddenly turns inward or flattens, it might warrant attention.

Research from medical journals suggests this inversion can occur as tissues change.

Additionally, any unexpected discharge—clear, bloody, or otherwise—from the nipple is worth noting.

This isn’t the same as milk production during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Here’s the interesting part: These changes might show up without pain, making them easy to dismiss.

To monitor, gently squeeze the nipple during your monthly self-exam.

If discharge appears, track its color and frequency.

Pair this with a habit of checking in good lighting.

Small steps like these build confidence in your routine.
