What is the cause of a hypoechoic breast mass?

Many women never have a breast examination in their daily lives. They only think of going to the hospital for examination when they experience some discomfort in the breast. This is definitely wrong, so it is important to check the breasts regularly. Some people will have results such as low-echo masses in the breast during the examination. Many people have no idea what this means or what causes it. Therefore, the following is a detailed introduction to professional knowledge in this area.

What is a hypoechoic breast mass?

Consider that breast hyperplasia is common in women of childbearing age and is caused by an imbalance in estrogen secretion. It affects menstruation, pregnancy, and breastfeeding. This disease is divided into mild and severe types. Mild cases do not require treatment and can be observed. Pay attention to diet: do not eat barbecued, fried, or puffed foods; avoid exposure to radiation; do not abuse hormones, and use less hormone-containing cosmetics; avoid depression and psychological tension. Choose a bra that is moderate in size and not too tight. For severe cases, Chinese medicine can be used for treatment: Ru'an tablets, Rupixiao tablets, Xiaoyao pills, and Rukang tablets. Just make sure to relax and stay optimistic.

Treatment

The treatment of this disease is mainly symptomatic treatment, which can be treated with Chinese medicine or Chinese patent medicine, including soothing the liver and regulating qi, harmonizing Chong and Ren meridians, and correcting ovarian function. For localized cystic breast hyperplasia, a follow-up examination should be conducted within 1 week to 10 days after menstruation. If the lump becomes soft, shrinks or disappears, the patient can be observed and continue with Chinese medicine treatment. If the lump does not regress significantly, or if the local lesion is suspected to be malignant during observation, precise positioning with a molybdenum target and interventional drug superconducting ablation should be used to control the further spread of the breast nodule. If there is atypical epithelial hyperplasia, the lesion site can be accurately located through examination equipment for minimally invasive surgical removal. The positioning system can also be used to locate the lesion and perform superconducting ablation of the breast nodule. If there are high-risk factors such as contralateral breast cancer or a family history of breast cancer, as well as older patients with obvious breast tissue hyperplasia around the mass, a simple mastectomy can be performed. If none of the above conditions are present, interventional drug superconducting ablation of breast nodules can be performed followed by close follow-up.

Identification diagnosis

1. It mostly occurs in women aged 20 to 40 and has a slow course.

2. In the early stage, it is limited to one or several nodular lumps in one part of the breast. It is painless, has unclear boundaries and may adhere to the skin. The lump liquefies to form a cold abscess, which ruptures to form one or several sinus tracts or ulcers. The secretions are thin and accompanied by bean curd-like substances. The skin edge of the ulcer is insidious, and acid-fast bacteria may occasionally be found in smears of secretions.

3. The axillary lymph nodes on the affected side may be swollen.

4. May be accompanied by low fever, night sweats, and rapid erythrocyte sedimentation rate.
