Breast cystic nodules grade 2

When women undergo a physical examination, their breasts must be examined, and breast color ultrasound is often performed. The test results may not be particularly clear to some people. For example, if breast cystic nodules occur, this is a symptom of disease and should be treated promptly. There are many types of this disease, so treatment should be based on the symptoms. What should I do if I have grade 2 cystic nodules in my breast?

Breast nodules are a symptom that is common in breast hyperplasia (which can form breast cysts) and breast tumor diseases, including benign breast tumors (such as breast fibroids, phyllodes tumors, etc.) and malignant breast tumors (breast cancer).

Classification

1. Breast nodules caused by breast hyperplasia

Multiple, unilateral or bilateral, mostly in the upper quadrant. The size and texture often change cyclically with menstruation. The nodules become larger and harder before menstruation, and shrink and become softer after menstruation. During the examination, breast nodules can be felt that are irregular in size, with unclear boundaries with surrounding tissues, often tender, without adhesion to the skin and deep tissues, and able to move; breast pain is often seen in unilateral or bilateral breasts, with pain or tenderness. The duration of the disease varies, and most patients have symptoms of cyclical pain, which occurs or worsens before menstruation and eases or disappears after menstruation.

2. Breast nodules caused by breast tumors

Benign tumors can be single or multiple, and are more common in women of childbearing age. When palpated, the nodules are generally firm, with clear boundaries and good mobility. Malignant tumors are generally single, and are more common in middle-aged and elderly women. When palpated, the nodules are generally hard, with unclear boundaries and poor mobility.

The treatment of breast nodules should first establish a clear diagnosis. Through breast B-ultrasound and molybdenum target, some nodules are considered to be benign lesions with a high probability, and regular follow-up observation may be considered; some breast nodules require biopsy to clarify the pathological nature, and further treatment plans are decided based on the pathological results. If it is a malignant tumor, multidisciplinary collaboration is required based on the patient's condition to develop an individualized comprehensive treatment plan, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, endocrine therapy, and molecular targeted therapy.

Prevention: Since the cause of breast nodules is still unclear, there is currently no clear and effective prevention method, but relevant prevention and control measures can be taken for the high-risk factors of breast cancer, including a reasonable diet and a healthy lifestyle. Encourage breastfeeding, quit smoking and drinking, avoid long-term and large-scale oral contraceptive use, etc. If the patient has hereditary breast cancer, relevant breast cancer susceptibility gene testing can be considered to clarify and develop an individualized breast cancer screening plan, and preventive mastectomy can be performed if necessary.
