What are the symptoms of cystic breast hyperplasia

For women, there are many breast diseases, such as mastitis and cystic breast hyperplasia, which can endanger the patient's health. Cystic breast hyperplasia will cause breast pain and lumps in the breast in the early stage of the disease. The disease has a long course, and the symptoms are not very obvious in the early stage. What are the symptoms of cystic breast hyperplasia? The following is a relevant introduction.

1. Breast pain: Common symptoms include unilateral or bilateral breast pain or tenderness. The course of the disease varies from 2 months to several years. Most patients have the characteristic of cyclical pain, which occurs or worsens before menstruation and eases or disappears after menstruation. It must be noted that although the periodicity of mastalgia is a typical manifestation of this disease, the absence of this feature does not negate the existence of the disease.

2. Breast lumps: They are often multiple, unilateral or bilateral, and are more common in the upper quadrant. The size and texture also change cyclically with the menstruation. The lumps increase in size and become harder before the menstruation, and decrease in size and become tough but not hard after the menstruation. During palpation, the mass can be felt to have a nodular structure, of varying sizes, with unclear boundaries from surrounding tissues, often tender, with no adhesion to the skin and deep tissues, and can be pushed. The axillary lymph nodes are not enlarged.

In addition, the disease may also last a long time, develop slowly, and sometimes cause nipple discharge. The nodules of varying sizes in the breast are essentially some large and small milk ducts that are cystically dilated. Nipple discharge comes from these cysts and is yellow-green, brown or bloody, and occasionally colorless serous.

There is a possibility of cancer. Once a lump is found that grows rapidly or becomes hard in a short period of time, the possibility of cancer should be highly suspected. If necessary, a biopsy or simple mastectomy should be performed. If cancer cells are found in the frozen section during the operation, the patient should be treated as breast cancer.

After reading the above introduction, you should know the symptoms of cystic breast hyperplasia. Because of the special physiological characteristics of women, everyone must pay more attention to their health in daily life and develop the habit of regular physical and gynecological examinations so that they can detect and treat any discomfort in time. I wish you good health.
