What causes a lump in the left breast?

Women are very afraid of breast diseases. More and more cases of breast diseases make women feel very panic. For example, breast cancer, mastitis, etc. are diseases that can have fatal effects on women. Some breast diseases are not fatal, but they should not be underestimated. For example, what if there is a lump in the left breast?

The hardness inside the breast may be breast hyperplasia, because breast hyperplasia has the following symptoms:

1. Breast lumps:

There are single or multiple lumps in one or both breasts, often located on the outer and upper part of the breast, and are nodular, granular, or linear in shape, but are more common in the form of lumps. The breast lump has unclear boundaries, medium or slightly hard texture, can be moved slightly, has no adhesion to surrounding tissues when moving, may be tender, and varies in size, some as small as sand grains, and some larger than 3-4CM. The breast lumps increase in size before menstruation and then shrink and soften after menstruation.

2. Breast pain:

There may be swelling, tingling or dull pain in the general or bilateral breasts. Some may experience nipple pain or itching. If the pain is severe, the breasts cannot be touched. Breast pain fluctuates with mood and menstrual cycles, often aggravated before menstruation or when angry or depressed, and significantly reduced or disappears after menstruation.

If there is swelling, check whether the texture is hard, the shape is regular, and the mobility is good. Generally, if the swelling is rapid, the boundaries should be clear, cystic, and the mobility should be good. It may be a fibroadenoma or a cyst. Surgical removal is generally recommended. If there is no lump, but you just feel a mass or lumps in your breast, and it is closely related to your mood and menstruation, it may be breast hyperplasia. In this case, you are advised to take some anti-inflammatory drugs.
