Is it normal to have a lump in the breast?

Breast health is receiving more and more attention from women. Many women will conduct regular self-examinations or physical examinations in hospitals. During self-examinations, many people will find that there are lumps in their breasts but no pain. Some people will care, while others will not. So is this normal?

What is the reason for a lump in the breast but no pain?

1. Breast hyperplasia

Many middle-aged women will find lumps of different sizes in their breasts with unclear edges. They will cause pain during menstruation but not at other times. This condition is likely to be cysts in the mammary gland branches, leading to breast disease.

2. Fibroadenoma

If you have breast fibroadenoma, it will not cause any pain and cannot be detected without examination. The lump has slow growth and development and is often single.

3. A normal condition during menstruation

Many women experience breast swelling, hardening, and pain before their menstrual period. In severe cases, even slight touch is painful. This is because the body's hormone levels rise during the menstrual period, and the breasts immediately become swollen. The lumps will automatically disappear after the menstrual period ends.

4. Breast cancer

Breast cancer is painless in the early stages of the disease. As the tumor continues to expand, the lump will become hard and difficult to move, and pain will immediately occur. It will also continue to fill the nipple, and sometimes spread to the armpits, cervical lymph nodes and other locations.

How can you protect your breast health in daily life?

1. Wear the right underwear

After having online shopping, many women buy similar online bras subjectively without trying them at all. They just wear them when they buy them because they think they fit. However, they don’t know how great harm it will cause to the breasts, and it cannot provide support, which has a negative impact on the breast shape and health.

2. Check more

Don't neglect to check breast health during every routine physical examination. Many female diseases start with the breasts.

3. More massage

Breast massage stimulates the acupuncture points around the chest, helps to dredge the meridians, improves the blood circulation of the breasts, facilitates the rapid excretion of toxins in the body and breasts, enhances the metabolic capacity of the breasts, and makes the breasts healthier.
