What does it mean when a breast nodule has blood flow signals?

Breast diseases are highly prevalent among women. Nodules will appear in the breasts if you do not pay attention. If blood flow signals are found in breast nodules during examination, women should not be nervous. This result does not mean that the breast nodules have become diseased. Further detailed examination is needed, and then treatment should be received as soon as possible to avoid causing more damage to the breasts. Healthy breasts can increase women’s self-confidence and make them more attractive.

What does it mean when a breast nodule has blood flow signals?

The presence of blood flow signals in breast nodules is usually one of the descriptions of the results of breast color ultrasound examination, indicating that the blood flow in breast nodules is relatively abundant, which is often seen in a state of more active cell growth, and also includes the case of some malignant nodules. However, the blood flow signal alone cannot completely equate with a malignant tumor. It also needs to be combined with other aspects of the condition, such as the nodule's boundary, surface, morphology, the presence of calcification foci, and the growth rate of the nodule for a comprehensive analysis. When the diagnosis is difficult, it is necessary to combine other examinations, including breast mammography or magnetic resonance imaging. If necessary, a pathological examination is required to further clarify the diagnosis.

What are the causes of breast nodules?

1. Caused by endocrine disorders. Endocrine disorders are often caused by the patient's mood. If a woman is in a bad mood for a long time, the liver qi cannot be discharged, which will eventually lead to qi and blood disharmony, and endocrine disorders will occur. Endocrine disorders are also an important cause of breast nodules in female friends.

2. Late childbearing is caused by the fact that today's women are becoming more and more independent and of course the work pressure is also increasing, which leads to the phenomenon of late marriage and late childbearing becoming more and more serious. As women's physiological functions decline, the impact of late childbearing is becoming more and more serious. Breast nodules are one of the impacts. If women breastfeed late or do not breastfeed, they will develop breast nodules.

3. Irregular diet. Diet is also an important cause of breast nodules. Most people nowadays have irregular diets and do not have three meals a day. Some people even skip meals to lose weight. Such long-term malnutrition will have a great impact on the breasts.

4. An disharmonious sexual life or a long-term lack of sexual life can also cause breast nodules.

What are the examinations for breast nodules?

1. Gross findings: ① Small papules appear on the skin at the lesion site, with a ring-shaped depression in the center; ② The skin becomes thickened and tough, with a flushed and rough surface, and may have tiny and superficial ulcers with secretions and dermatitis; ③ Nodular red spots appear at the lesion site.

2.Specialties under light microscope. Point: The lesions mainly invade the dermis, in which epithelial cell clusters of varying sizes can be seen, occasionally extending to the subcutaneous tissue.

(1) Subacute transient sarcoidosis: Small clusters of epithelial cells are seen in the upper part of the dermis.

(2) Chronic persistent sarcoidosis: Epithelioid cell clusters surrounded by lymphocytes and multinucleated giant cells may or may not be seen in the dermis. There are few lymphocytes around the epithelial cell clusters located deep in the dermis, or they appear as naked epithelial cell nodules.

3. What is seen under electron microscope: There are lymphocytes surrounding the epithelial cell clusters, but they are not lymphocytes. Electron microscope observation revealed that they have lysosomes containing acid phosphatase and other lysosomal enzymes, which indicates that they are monocytes in the blood. Can evolve into epithelial cells.

Is it possible for grade 3 breast nodules to become cancerous?

Stage three breast nodules may turn into cancer. When they are at stage three, they must be closely observed and checked regularly, because breast nodules at this stage have a certain chance of malignancy. They need to be checked every three to six months. When the nodules become larger or irregular in shape and have rich blood flow inside, a puncture biopsy is required in time, and pathological examination is performed to determine whether they are benign or malignant. If the pathological examination shows that the nodules are benign, then observation can be continued. If the pathological examination shows that they are malignant or the tumor is already very large, then surgical resection is required. Surgical resection can prevent cancer. If cancer has already occurred, it may recur after surgery, so radiotherapy and chemotherapy must be performed after surgery to prevent recurrence.

When breast nodules reach level three, they are relatively serious. At level three, it is impossible to determine whether they are benign or malignant. It can only be said that there is a possibility of benignity and further treatment should be done. If the breast nodules are not diffuse, and there are not many nodules or they are hard, traditional Chinese medicine can be used for treatment. If it is a diffuse hyperplasia and there are frequent headaches, it is best to choose surgical treatment at this time.
