Young women pay more attention to the shape of their breasts. When they find that their breasts are deformed, they must pay attention to breast changes and be alert to breast diseases. So what characteristics should they pay attention to during a breast examination? 1. Deep induration If you feel a lump in your breast that is firm, smooth, but grows slowly and has no other sensation, it may be an adenoma. 2. Orange peel-like changes Breast cancer invades the subcutaneous lymphatic vessels and obstructs lymphatic return, which can cause skin edema. However, the skin at the hair follicles will not swell accordingly, so the surface is prone to depression, just like orange peel. Experts remind that diseases that can cause orange peel-like changes include: fibroadenoma, tuberculosis, fibrocystic hyperplasia, sarcoma, breast cancer and fat necrosis. 3. Asymmetry Congenital asymmetry is mainly due to the influence of estrogen and progesterone in the body during puberty, which causes the more sensitive breast to develop too quickly while the other breast develops too slowly; acquired asymmetry mainly occurs in women who have given birth and breastfed, who are accustomed to using one breast when feeding, or have incorrect feeding posture and method. 4. Nipple discharge There are many reasons for nipple discharge, in addition to breast hyperplasia, there are also breast tuberculosis, mastitis, breast cancer, etc. Some female endocrine disorders can also cause nipple discharge. These diseases, both benign and malignant, require prompt examination. 5. Skin ulcers Among breast cancer patients, some will have skin problems, manifested as local ulcers that are difficult to heal and accompanied by large amounts of bloody, purulent and foul-smelling secretions. 6. Redness/Fever Darkening and warming of the nipple and areola may indicate the presence of hyperplastic or cystic lesions in both or one breast, or an increase in estrogen levels in the body. 7. Lumps Slow-growing and painful lumps are mostly benign hyperplasia or inflammation; rapidly growing lumps with unclear boundaries need to be examined as soon as possible. Breast lumps are the most common breast disease. Many benign diseases also manifest themselves in the form of breast lumps. Therefore, the most important thing in identifying breast lumps is to distinguish between benign and malignant ones. Except for breast cancer which is malignant, lumps caused by breast fibroadenoma, breast hyperplasia, breast milk cyst, breast fat necrosis, etc. are all benign and can be treated through acupoint and reflex area massage. 8. Small pits The appearance of "dimples" in the breasts is a sign of involvement of the suspensory ligaments of the breasts. Chronic breast inflammation, fat necrosis, subcutaneous thrombophlebitis of the breast and postoperative scar contracture may all cause skin depression. |
