How to check for a breast lump

There are many common breast diseases in women, the most common of which are mastitis and breast hyperplasia. These diseases have a great impact on women's breasts and require long-term treatment, which is very helpful in alleviating women's diseases. When women have a lump in their breast, they should first undergo an examination so that they can have some understanding of their specific situation and choose the correct method during treatment.

How to check for a breast lump:

1. Breast palpation: Professional doctors can gain a preliminary understanding of the texture, range, mobility and location of the lump through palpation.

2. Breast color ultrasound examination: Breast color ultrasound can detect more subtle lesions based on breast palpation, and can detect 3-5MM tumors in breast tissue. With the development of electronic technology and the application of high-frequency ultrasonic probes and color Doppler flowmeters, the detection rate of breast masses has reached 90%-95%, and the diagnostic accuracy of breast diseases has reached 92%-96%. Breast color ultrasound with high-frequency, high-resolution ultrasound diagnostic equipment and probes cannot be replaced by ordinary abdominal ultrasound examination.

3. GE Mammography in the United States: GE Mammography in the United States is a preliminary screening method for breast lumps. It is a non-destructive, radiation-free, and painless examination method. It can be repeatedly examined in the near future without any harm to the body, making it one of the preferred methods for non-invasive breast examination. It can clearly understand the internal structure of breast tissue lesions and has important clinical significance for the differential diagnosis of early breast tumors. It is more suitable for Asian women whose glandular tissue is generally denser, especially pregnant and lactating women.

After understanding the methods of checking for breast lumps, women should follow the above examination methods during physical examinations. These examination methods have a good grasp of women's problems and will not have much impact on the body during the examination process. Women can choose them with confidence.
