Solid breast mass

Adult women should pay more attention to their breast health and go to the hospital for examination in time if they have any discomfort symptoms. Solid breast masses are relatively common. Female friends should pay more attention to their diet, avoid staying up late, and know how to relieve stress. Especially for the occurrence of breast cancer, early detection and early treatment are the best options. Therefore, women must learn more about breast-related knowledge.

diagnosis

Early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer are the key to improving treatment efficacy. The diagnosis and differential diagnosis of breast cancer should be made in combination with the patient's clinical manifestations and medical history, physical examination, imaging examination, histopathology and cytopathology examination (in hospitals with the necessary conditions). Most patients come to the hospital for treatment after accidentally discovering a breast lump. A few patients discover breast tumors or suspicious lesions through regular physical examinations or screenings. Palpable masses can be diagnosed by needle biopsy or surgical excisional biopsy. If no lump can be felt clinically and suspicious lesions are discovered through imaging examinations, biopsy can be performed with the help of imaging examinations to locate the lesions. Pathological examination is the gold standard for diagnosing breast cancer. The breast is located on the surface of the human body, so it should not be difficult to diagnose. However, according to the statistics of hospitals in my country, early cases are still a minority. What are the reasons for delaying the early diagnosis of breast cancer?

1. Female friends do not have enough knowledge of medical science, are not aware of the clinical characteristics of breast cancer, and lack vigilance against this disease in daily life.

2. Early breast cancer is mostly a painless tumor, which does not cause any discomfort to the body and does not affect life or work.

3. A small number of women are bound by outdated ideas, have conservative thinking, are ashamed to have physical examinations, and are unwilling to go to the hospital for breast examinations.

4. In order to save trouble and convenience temporarily, people listen to the nonsense of some individuals, or are too superstitious about the diagnosis of a certain instrument, relax their vigilance, and do not conduct further inspections.

5. Some people have read some books about tumors or been influenced by people around them and have become cancer-phobic. They are afraid that they may get breast cancer and dare not go to the hospital for examination. They do not realize that they are falling into a misunderstanding and that whether or not you get breast cancer does not depend on whether you go to the hospital or not. Seeing a doctor can rule out breast cancer and relieve psychological stress. Once breast cancer is diagnosed, it is discovered early and can be treated in time.

6. The pace of life is fast and the work is busy. New problems arise one after another and people are busy dealing with them. They have no time to take care of their own health. Even if they feel unwell, they have no time to go to the hospital and can only deal with it casually. The above wrong practices have caused many breast cancer patients to delay early diagnosis.
