18 year old breast lump

The breast is a very important part of the female body, and the health of the breast will directly affect the health of women. In daily life, we must pay more attention to any problems with our breasts. Many women have lumps in their breasts and are accompanied by pain. Today, let’s learn about the causes of lumps in the breasts and pain. What is the cause of lumps in the breasts at the age of 18?

Breast lumps at the age of 18 are often seen in the following symptoms:

1. Fibrocystic breast disease is relatively common. It is a high-density breast mass during adolescence. It mainly manifests as cord-like, hard lumps. When the breast is squeezed, it will feel like a paving stone. It can change with the change of the menstrual cycle, and the pain is more obvious in the early stage.

2. Mastitis. The more common mastitis during the non-breastfeeding period are plasma cell mastitis and granulomatous mastitis. The early symptoms are mainly painful lumps or painless lumps.

3. Breast fibroadenoma or breast cyst. Breast fibroadenoma mainly manifests as a hard mass with good activity.

4. Breast cancer: The lump usually has unclear boundaries and cannot be promoted. It may be combined with skin orange peel signs, etc.

5. Breast trauma abscess.

If an 18-year-old has a lump in her breast, it is recommended that she go to a breast specialist clinic for treatment.

The first thing to consider is whether mastitis has occurred. Its occurrence will cause women to have severe breast pain before menstruation, which will be relieved or disappear after the menstrual period. If a woman who is breastfeeding has lumps and pain in the breast, it is likely caused by blocked milk ducts. If not properly treated, it may turn into mastitis.

There are also many breast diseases that can cause breast lumps, such as breast hyperplasia. The lumps of breast hyperplasia can occur in any part of the breast and may be multiple or transmissible. There are also many women suffering from breast fibroadenosis, which will cause pain when pressed gently, and will be aggravated during menstruation.

Nowadays, many women suffer from breast diseases. In the early stages, the symptoms are not obvious, which causes women to ignore this problem. If a lump appears in the breast accompanied by pain, you should be alert and check whether there is cancer and find out what the problem is. During the inspection process, you need to know whether the lump has changed in size, whether it is painful, and whether it feels irregular. The best way is to use a hot towel to massage gently.
