Breast hyperplasia examination method

In fact, many female friends nowadays do not pay much attention to their physical health, especially now that the incidence of breast diseases is particularly high, so they need to do some detailed examinations regularly, so as to prevent breast hyperplasia. Let us learn about the methods of checking breast hyperplasia.

Inspection method:

Based on the above clinical manifestations and signs, it is not difficult to diagnose this disease, but it should be noted that a small number of patients (about 2-3%) may develop malignant transformation. Therefore, suspicious patients should be followed up and observed, generally once every three months. Patients with unilateral lesions and limited range of lesions should be especially vigilant.

Self-check:

Starting from the sitting position, any inversion of the nipple, indentation of the skin, or unusual structural shape are clues to cancer deep in the breast. These signs will appear if the patient claps her hands above her head to contract her pectoral muscles. When the woman is in a sitting position, it is easier to check the supraclavicular, infraclavicular, and axillary lymph nodes. Finally, palpation should be performed while sitting, using the fingers together to touch the area under the nipple.

Lie on your back to palpate a wider area. Place a pillow under the ipsilateral breast and raise the ipsilateral hand over the head so that the breast is evenly spread on the chest wall so that the fingers can easily touch the deep breast cancer. Use the palm of the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger instead of the fingertips for palpation. The palpation should be in a circular motion, rotating laterally from the nipple to the outside. It is especially important to examine the breast that extends into the armpit.

Breast examination should first observe the development of the mammary gland, whether the breasts on both sides are symmetrical, whether they are similar in size, whether the nipples on both sides are at the same level, whether the nipples are retracted and sunken; whether the nipples and areolas are eroded, the color of the breast skin, whether there is edema and orange peel-like changes, whether there are inflammatory manifestations such as redness and swelling, whether the superficial veins in the mammary gland area are dilated, etc.

The above article will give you a detailed introduction to the examination methods of breast hyperplasia. I believe that everyone has a relatively preliminary understanding. Then you must pay special attention to your daily diet, do not eat too spicy food, and go for regular gynecological examinations.
