(2) Surface condition of breast skin: Check the color of breast skin for edema, rash, ulceration, superficial vein swelling, skin wrinkles and orange peel-like changes.
(3) nipple areola: check the nipple for deformity, uplift, depression, erosion and desquamation; Whether the areola color is abnormal, whether there is eczema-like change, etc.
(4) Breast lump: The position, shape, size, number, texture, surface smoothness, activity and tenderness of breast lump should be checked. Mainly through palpation. Generally speaking, bilateral multiple masses with periodic breast pain are more likely to be benign lesions; However, a single painless mass on one side may have malignant lesions.
(5) nipple discharge: check whether there is nipple discharge, and check in detail whether it is self-discharge or post-extrusion discharge, whether it is unilateral or bilateral, and the nature of the discharge.
(6) Regional lymph nodes and general situation: Because breast cancer is prone to axillary and supraclavicular lymph node metastasis, breast physical examination should routinely check the size, texture and activity of lymph nodes in the above areas.
