Which breast nodules are prone to cancer?

Breast nodules may cause breast cancer, mainly because breast hyperplasia can lead to breast blockage, and this situation mainly occurs in women over 30 years old. Women need to treat breast nodules well. Patients with breast nodules should be examined with MRI and have breast massage performed to promote breast milk secretion. They can also wipe the breasts with a warm towel.

Experts say that due to the frequent fluctuations in the endocrine system in women, some hyperplastic nodules sometimes appear and sometimes disappear, sometimes there are more, sometimes there are fewer, sometimes they are larger, sometimes they are smaller. Most breast nodules are hyperplasia, and only a small number are tumors. A few mild hyperplasias will develop into severe hyperplasias, which may turn into cancer. Most hyperplastic nodules will not turn into tumors, so women do not need to worry too much, but they should pay attention to them and have regular check-ups.

If a hyperplastic nodule turns into a tumor, there must be carcinogenic potential in the body. Since the mechanism of carcinogenesis has not yet been fully understood in the world, there is no way of knowing which nodule may turn into cancer. Therefore, doctors recommend that all people with hyperplastic nodules have regular checkups to monitor their changes.

Good living habits are the key to alleviating breast hyperplasia. We should learn to vent and adjust ourselves in the stressful life and work, get angry less and exercise more. Eat a light diet, don't smoke, don't drink, and pay attention to controlling your weight. It is recommended that women over 30 years old should have a breast ultrasound examination once a year, and women over 40 years old should have a breast mammography examination every 1 to 2 years. Especially for women who have not given birth to children, have a family history, are obese, have early menstruation or late menopause and other risk factors, they should undergo an MRI examination if necessary to prevent benign breast diseases from becoming malignant.

Warm reminder: The above is an introduction to "Will breast nodules become cancerous?" If you have symptoms of illness, do not delay diagnosis and go to a regular hospital for treatment in time to avoid delaying the disease and causing serious consequences.

Causes of breast nodules

1This disease is a type of breast hyperplasia, which usually occurs in women of childbearing age. Usually, most patients will experience signs of pain during the menstrual cycle, but there will be no lumps in the breast. The pain often disappears on its own after the menstruation ends.

2Usually, the main cause of this disease is long-term endocrine disorders in patients, which will lead to structural degenerative changes in the breast tissue ducts and lobules and progressive growth of connective tissue in the patient's body, thereby inducing the occurrence of the disease.

3 In addition, if a woman has long-term menstrual disorders and is easily angered, her liver qi often cannot be effectively vented. Therefore, modern medicine currently believes that marriage, childbirth, diet, the external environment of human survival and genetic factors are also the main causes of breast diseases in patients.

Do breast nodules need to be removed surgically?

The first reaction of many patients is to remove it. Experts say that if breast nodules are not treated, there is a risk of cancer. But this does not mean that breast nodules need to be surgically removed. Surgery is not the best way to treat breast nodules. The purpose of the operation is mainly to examine the pathology and exclude malignant lesions (breast cancer). Breast surgery itself will not have any sequelae, but there will be surgical trauma to the local breast, leaving local changes and scars; and it is impossible to completely cure breast nodules, and the possibility of recurrence is very high.
