Pregnant woman with a lump in one breast

There is a lump on one side of the breast without any pain. It is usually caused by the following reasons: first, simple breast hyperplasia will manifest as a breast lump. Color Doppler ultrasound examination can also reveal uneven thickening of the mammary ducts and the formation of lumps. Second, malignant breast tumors most commonly occur in the upper outer part of the breast, manifesting as a local lump without pain. However, color Doppler ultrasound examinations can reveal irregular breast changes, with obvious supply blood vessels or rough edges around them, or even clustered thickening changes, which require immediate surgical treatment.

First, we need to identify the symptom characteristics of the painful lump in the breast, and then choose the appropriate treatment method according to the actual cause to alleviate it. During the identification process, it is necessary to understand the patient's age, the time when the lump was discovered, whether there is local skin swelling, whether there is nipple discharge and other characteristics. For example, if a lump and pain appear on one breast during breastfeeding, it is usually subacute mastitis, which requires immediate antibiotic treatment, such as intravenous infusion of cefoperazone, and cyst resection is also required if cysts occur. Breast lumps and pain during the non-breastfeeding period are often caused by tumor space-occupying lesions, which require surgical treatment to relieve.

There is a noticeable lump on one side of the breast, accompanied by pain. The cause of the disease should be determined. Since it is generally caused by breast hyperplasia, a color ultrasound examination of the breast should be carried out, and a physical examination by a professional breast physician is required. For simple breast hyperplasia, you can take Chinese herbal medicine for treatment, such as Jiawei Xiaoyao Pills or Pingxiao Tablets, which have the effect of relieving pain and promoting blood circulation. You can also combine it with physical treatment methods, which has a better analgesic effect. You can choose hot towel compresses and local massage to relieve the patient's discomfort.

Some patients are caused by actual breast tumors, such as breast fibroadenoma, which is generally a metastatic disease that manifests as a local lump accompanied by significant tenderness. Surgical treatment can be chosen. Breast fibroids are not easy to disappear on their own. After surgical removal, the patient's pain symptoms can be alleviated.
