What causes hardness in breasts?

As we all know, breasts play a very important role for female friends. If there is a problem with female friends' breasts, it will not only bring discomfort to female friends but also bring great psychological pressure to female friends. Therefore, we recommend that female friends should protect their breasts well in daily life. Some female friends may have symptoms of hard breasts. Let us analyze the reasons below.

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.

How to check for hardness in breast?

The correct way to examine and touch the breasts is to stretch out your palms flat, put your four fingers together, and use the tip pads of the most sensitive index finger, middle finger, and ring finger to gently touch the upper outer, lower outer, lower inner, and upper inner areas of the breast in order, and finally the nipple and areola area in the middle of the breast. During the examination, do not pinch the breast tissue with your fingers, otherwise you will mistake the pinched breast tissue for a lump.

What to do if the breast is hard?

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. The most serious disease of the breast is breast cancer. The lump is usually irregular, with unclear boundaries and a hard texture. The skin may change, be sunken, or have color changes. It is usually painless and difficult to detect.
