The difference between a breast nodule and a breast lump

Breast nodules and lumps are indeed two concepts that are difficult to define. So what is the difference between breast lumps and masses? This is a topic that many people will ask about, and I will explain it to you right away.

Are you still wondering what the difference is between a breast lump and a mass? In order to solve your doubts, here is a brief introduction:

Breast nodules and lumps are indeed two concepts that are difficult to define. Generally speaking, if the breast structure tends to be normal or the so-called proliferative changes, and manifests as a two-dimensional structure in routine physical examinations, the doctor will define it as a lump; if the breast structure tends to be a tumor and has an obvious three-dimensional structure, it will be defined as a lump.

However, this does not mean that the condition of a lump is lighter than that of a hard lump, because breast cancer in a relatively early stage may also manifest as breast nodules, or even just thickening of the glandular ducts. As the condition progresses, it will gradually manifest as a breast lump.

In addition, breast nodules can be mostly dynamically observed through understanding medical history, examination, expression, psychological state and diet therapy. Some patients with more severe symptoms and pain can be treated with medication. The most important thing in treating breast lumps is to determine whether the lump itself is breast cancer or whether it is associated with the presence of breast cancer, that is, the issue of eliminating and diagnosing breast cancer.

Secondly, normal breast examination time should be carried out within one week after each menstrual period. Whether sitting or lying down, you should use the tips of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th fingers to gently press each breast in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction to compare its internal structure. Finally, also check the area under the nipple and under the armpit. Never grab or pinch the breast for examination.

In a word, the above has given a certain detailed introduction to the relevant knowledge about the difference between breast lumps and masses. If you are still not very clear, you can consult a professional doctor for understanding.
