Do breast lumps require surgery?

Breasts are a symbol of feminine charm, and their health is also something that women pay more attention to. Breasts are very fragile. If you don't pay attention to breast care and don't cherish them, problems will easily arise. Some women experience breast pain, and sometimes feel a lump when they touch it. Once this happens, you should pay special attention and go to the hospital for a check-up to prevent breast deterioration. So do breast lumps require surgery?

How to determine whether a breast lump is benign

1. Biopsy: It is the most reliable method for diagnosis at present, but it causes too much damage to the body and is only used when other methods are unable to make a diagnosis.

2. Puncture: Insert a thin needle into the tumor and extract a small amount of tissue for cytological examination. This is a direct examination that is not only inexpensive but also very accurate. Usually, the puncture is combined with B-ultrasound and X-ray positioning, and sometimes early breast cancer can be discovered.

3. Physical examination: The initial diagnosis method for breast disease is palpation. Because doctors have been exposed to diseases for a long time, they usually have a preliminary judgment in their minds after roughly touching and observing the patient's breasts. If it is a typical sign of a certain disease, an accurate diagnosis can be made without even any examination, but more accurate examinations will generally be performed using instruments.

Do breast lumps require surgery?

1. Not all breast lumps require surgical treatment. Whether a breast lump requires surgery is determined by the location and size of the lump. Generally, breast lumps such as breast fibroadenoma, intraductal papilloma and lobular hyperplasia are benign breast lumps, so they do not require surgical treatment. However, if a solid breast nodule or lump larger than 1 cm is detected, surgical treatment is generally required.

2. Simply relying on drugs to treat breast diseases is not ideal. The effect is also slow to take effect, especially for breast lumps, fibroids and other breast diseases that cannot be penetrated by drugs. Surgical treatment is better. Traditional breast surgery chooses to make a relatively large incision directly on the breast, so many women are left with a scar on their breast after the operation, causing great harm to women physically and mentally, and some women even feel inferior because of this. So, for the treatment of breast diseases, especially breast tumors, minimally invasive breast-conserving surgery is currently a good treatment method.

3. Painless breast lumps. Clinically, the less painful a breast lump is, the more attention it should be paid. Because painless breast lumps happen to be one of the characteristics of breast cancer. One of the clinical symptoms of breast cancer is a rapidly growing breast lump. Breast cancer is the malignant transformation of a long-standing breast lump that has been ignored. Therefore, early examination and diagnosis are necessary, as breast cancer detected early is easier to cure.

How to treat breast lumps

Minimally invasive breast-conserving treatment: This is a surgical treatment that can directly remove breast lumps with tiny wounds and no obvious scars, while preserving the normal appearance and function of the breast. It is the best choice for young patients with breast diseases.

Treatment combining Chinese and Western medicine: For patients with breast hyperplasia, mild mastitis, etc., Chinese and Western medicine combined with drug treatment can be used, combined with psychological counseling to quickly control and treat the lumps, and it is important to pay attention to regular review and follow-up.

Drug treatment for breast lumps: You can take some Zhongtong'an, Rupi Sanjie capsules and tamoxifen, which are effective. You can also take some Chinese medicine. Therefore, the cause of the disease is mostly related to organ dysfunction and disharmony of Qi and blood. The traditional Chinese medicine Sanjie Ru'an patch can be used to soothe the liver and regulate Qi, regulate Qi, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, dredge the milk collaterals, resolve phlegm and soften hard masses, and reduce swelling and disperse nodules.

How to care for breast lumps?

1. Live a regular life: Live a regular life, combine work and rest, and maintain a harmonious sex life. It can regulate endocrine disorders, and maintaining smooth bowel movements will relieve breast pain and play a certain role in the prevention of breast hyperplasia.

2. You must keep a good attitude: Due to the lack of correct understanding of this disease, negative psychological factors such as excessive tension, stimulation, worry and sadness will cause neurasthenia, aggravate endocrine disorders and cause the aggravation of hyperplasia. Therefore, when related problems arise, your attitude is crucial.

3. Pay attention to diet: change your diet to prevent obesity, eat less fried foods, animal fats, sweets and excessive tonic foods, eat more vegetables and fruits, and eat more whole grains. Black soybeans are better, eat more walnuts, black sesame seeds, black fungus, and mushrooms.

What should I not eat if I have a breast lump?

1. Eat less high-fat food.

A high-fat diet is a risk factor for breast cancer. International surveys show that countries with higher fat intake have higher incidence rates of breast cancer. Excessive intake of fat and animal protein promotes the production and release of certain hormones in the human body, which can stimulate excessive proliferation of breast glandular epithelial cells, which is one of the important causes of breast disease.

2. Drink less coffee and alcohol.

Drinking alcohol is considered the biggest enemy of breast disease. A related study conducted by Shandong women found that women who drink white wine every day have a significantly increased chance of developing breast cancer. Foods such as coffee and chocolate contain a lot of xanthine, which can promote breast hyperplasia. Therefore, Ru'antie recommends that women should eat less of these foods.
