What is the hardness inside the breast?

Many women have breast problems due to excessive fatigue from work, excessive stress and many other issues. Breast problems are becoming increasingly serious. Many women have hard breasts and don’t know why. So what is going on? Let’s ask an expert in this field to introduce this issue to us.

More and more female friends are paying more attention to their breast health, but some women always feel something hard and a little painful when they self-examine their breasts. Could these hard things be breast hyperplasia or tumors? Experts explain: Breast pain does not necessarily mean there is a breast tumor, and even if you can feel a breast lump, it is not necessarily breast cancer. Because breast cancer rarely causes pain or other obvious symptoms in the early stages, early diagnosis can only be made through breast self-examination, breast X-rays, or breast ultrasound examinations. In general, hard masses inside the breasts may be breast hyperplasia.

There are several symptoms of breast hyperplasia:

1. One of the symptoms of breast hyperplasia is breast lumps: There are single or multiple lumps in one or both breasts, which often occur on the outer and upper part of the breast and are nodular, granular or linear in shape, but flake-like lumps are more common. The breast lump has unclear boundaries, medium or slightly hard texture, can be moved slightly, has no adhesion to surrounding tissues when moving, may be tender, and varies in size, some as small as sand grains, and some larger than 3-4CM. Breast lumps increase in size before menstruation and then shrink and soften after menstruation.

2. One of the symptoms of breast hyperplasia is breast pain: there is swelling, tingling or dull pain in the general or bilateral breasts. Some may experience nipple pain or itching. When the pain is severe, the breast cannot be touched. Breast pain fluctuates with mood and menstrual cycles, often aggravated before menstruation or when angry or depressed, and significantly reduced or disappears after menstruation. How to check if there is a hardness inside the breast? The correct way to check the breast is to stretch out your palm, put four fingers together, and use the most sensitive index finger, middle finger, and ring finger to gently touch the upper outer, lower outer, lower inner, and upper inner areas of the breast in order, and finally the nipple and areola area in the middle of the breast.

The above is the opinion of the experts on this issue. According to the above methods for treatment, it can well ensure the patient's health and avoid the situation where other diseases are caused by the lumps and the patient's condition worsens. Finally, I wish the patient a speedy recovery.
