Can breast nodules become diseased?

Breast diseases have always been feared by women. Due to the high incidence of breast diseases, most women will undergo breast examinations every year. When breast nodules are found, they can adjust their usual eating habits, reduce stress, and relax, and the nodules can be controlled. Generally speaking, if you can treat it promptly, the risk of breast nodules turning into cancer is not high. However, if you leave it alone, the breast nodules will get worse over time and the possibility of turning into cancer will increase a lot.

Can breast nodules become diseased?

Generally speaking, breast nodules will not become cancerous. Breast nodules are a non-tumor disease under the condition of breast cystic hyperplasia. They are structural degenerative lesions of mammary tissue ducts and lobules and progressive growth of connective tissue. The main cause of the disease is endocrine hormone imbalance. Common in women of childbearing age, spontaneous remission after menopause.

Prevention of breast nodules:

1. Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Pregnancy and breastfeeding are good ways to combat breast hyperplasia. Adequate secretion of progesterone can effectively protect and repair the mammary glands. Breastfeeding can make the mammary glands fully develop and degenerate well after weaning, making hyperplasia less likely to occur.

2. Maintain a positive attitude

Being less angry, less tempered, keeping emotions stable, lively and cheerful are beneficial to the early recovery of hyperplasia.

3. Regulate menstruation

Based on findings from medical research. Women with irregular menstrual cycles are more prone to breast hyperplasia than others. By regulating endocrine and menstruation, breast hyperplasia can also be prevented and treated.

4. Repeated visits to the hospital for checkups

For patients with breast hyperplasia nodules who cannot be ruled out as cancerous, they should go to the hospital for repeated examinations and undergo biopsy if necessary.

5. Regular sleep

Adjusting sleep is not only beneficial for balancing endocrine system. It also provides a good environment for various hormones in the body to achieve balanced health effects. There is power in unity, and various hormones working together can naturally defeat breast hyperplasia.

6. Self-examination and health care

Patients with breast pain, lumps, and breast hyperplasia nodules should be examined by a doctor, learn self-breast examination methods, and practice self-care.

7. Take proper selenium supplement

Selenium is an indispensable trace element for the human body and has strong antioxidant capacity. Selenium supplementation can enhance the antioxidant capacity of cells, regulate endocrine and metabolism, and remove toxins from the body, and it is very effective in preventing breast diseases.

8. Reduce estrogen in the body and control estrogen intake

Exercise more, consume excess fat, and prevent obesity from aggravating breast hyperplasia. Avoid taking contraceptives containing estrogen, and appropriately control the intake of estrogen-rich foods such as soy. It is forbidden to abuse beauty products containing estrogen; eat less poultry and aquatic products fed with feed (containing hormones); use health products containing estrogen with caution; use hormone replacement therapy with caution to relieve menopausal symptoms.

9. Supplement vitamins and minerals

If the human body lacks B vitamins, vitamin C or minerals such as calcium and magnesium, the synthesis of prostaglandin E will be affected, and the breast will experience or worsen hyperplasia under the excessive stimulation of other hormones.

10. Maintain good living habits

Live a regular life, combine work and rest, have regular work and rest schedules, and don't stay up late. Irregular work and rest schedules can disrupt hormone secretion and aggravate breast hyperplasia. Maintaining a harmonious sex life can regulate endocrine disorders. Keeping your bowel movements regular can help relieve breast tenderness.

11. Low-fat, high-fiber diet

Follow the "low-fat, high-fiber" dietary principles, eat more whole-grain foods, beans and vegetables, increase the body's metabolic pathways, and reduce adverse stimulation to the breast. Also, control the intake of animal protein to avoid excessive estrogen and breast hyperplasia.

The treatment principle of traditional Chinese medicine for breast nodules:

(1) Soothe the liver and regulate qi, and regulate qi flow.

People with breast lumps often have depression, excessive worry, or irritability, chest tightness and belching. Breast pain and changes in the size of the lump are also often related to emotional changes. When the seven emotions are not smooth, the liver loses its smooth function, and liver depression and qi stagnation accumulate in the intestinal network, causing pain and lumps. Therefore, soothing the liver and regulating qi and regulating qi are the main principles for treating breast lumps.

(2) Promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and dredge the milk meridians. Breast pain and lumps are the main symptoms, both of which are characteristic manifestations of blood stasis syndrome. Worry, anger, depression and unhappiness will inevitably lead to poor liver qi flow and obstruction of qi, which will cause pain. Before menstruation, the Chong and Ren meridians are filled with blood, causing breast swelling and pain to worsen. After menstruation, the Qi and blood are released, and the swelling and pain are relieved.

(3) It can resolve phlegm, soften hard masses, reduce swelling and disperse lumps.

Worrying too much can damage the spleen or the liver can cause depression and qi stagnation, which can go against the spleen and earth, and can cause the spleen to lose its healthy function, internal generation of phlegm and dampness, insufficient kidney qi, and malnutrition of the Chong and Ren meridians. Phlegm accumulation has a certain influence on the pathogenesis of breast diseases. Resolving phlegm, softening hard masses, reducing swelling and dispersing nodules can help the swelling and pain disappear without a trace.

Will Type 3 Breast Nodules Become Cancerous?

The harm of breast nodules is still relatively large, and category 3 breast nodules means that the patient's condition is more serious and there is a possibility of cancer. Patients are advised to pay attention to this disease. After the onset of the disease, they should first make a clear diagnosis and confirm it through breast B-ultrasound, mammography and other examinations, and then determine the corresponding treatment plan based on the examination results.

Category 3 breast nodules may become cancerous, so patients are advised to pay attention to this disease, pay attention to appropriate treatment after the onset of the disease, and pay attention to diet during treatment. Do not eat irritating foods, and pay attention to rest more. Do not have too heavy mental burden to avoid affecting the condition.

It is recommended that patients go to a regular hospital for comprehensive examination and treatment in time after the onset of the disease, which can help patients cure the disease as soon as possible. Patients and friends should know more about this in order to better control the disease. In addition, due to the great harm caused by breast nodule cancer, patients are advised to go to the hospital for examination in time if they experience adverse symptoms in their lives. Only in this way can early examination, early treatment and early recovery be guaranteed. Patients should pay attention to this.
