Is it normal for women to have lumps in their breasts?

A woman's breasts are the part she should be most proud of, because breasts are an important foundation for the female image. A beautiful woman must have healthy and firm breasts, but breasts are precisely the part of the body that women are most susceptible to disease. Among them, breast lumps are a common phenomenon. So, are there lumps in normal breasts?

1. The breast is mainly composed of mammary glands and adipose tissue, covered by skin and its superficial fascia, also known as cellular adipose tissue. The mammary gland is divided into 15-20 sac-like lobules by fat tissue, which are arranged radially with the nipple as the center. Its excretory ducts, the lactiferous ducts, are concentrated toward the nipple, expand into lactiferous duct sinuses under the areola, and then narrow and open into the lactiferous foramen.

2. There are more than a dozen small holes on each nipple, called lactiferous foramina, which are the openings of the milk ducts. The fibrous bundle between the mammary lobules, connecting the skin and the superficial fascia of the chest, is called the suspensory ligament of the breast, which fixes the position of the breast.

3. Normal breasts should feel soft and elastic, without any lumps. It also depends on your age. Breasts of different ages have slightly different textures due to different levels of development, but generally speaking, they should be soft and elastic. If there are lumps, it may be a precursor to breast disease. Breast cancer and breast hyperplasia can both cause lumps in the breasts. You should pay more attention to breast examinations. If you find a lump, you should go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible. Not only women should pay attention to breast health, but male compatriots should also pay attention, because the breast structure of women and men is the same, and men can also get breast cancer. Health is our greatest wealth.
