The most frequent form of breast cancer, known in medical parlance as ductal carcinoma, originates in the milk ducts. If the condition originates in the lobules of the breast, it’s termed lobular carcinoma. The symptoms, which appear in and around the area of the breast, may include palpable hardening or knots, changes in the skins such as ridges, pitting or swelling, nipple discharge or tenderness, changes in the size or shape of the breast, or enlarged lymph nodes around the armpit, collarbone or sternum.
While some women are able to breastfeed easily right from the start, others find themselves faced with unpleasant surprises. In some situations it may even be necessary to advise against breastfeeding altogether.
At the beginning, especially, breastfeeding requires a lot of practice and patience until mother and child are used to each other, and it is generally possible to get over whatever initial problems there may be. However, in some circumstances it becomes necessary to put breastfeeding on hold for a certain period, especially when the milk or the feeding itself is harming the mother or the baby.
