Nowadays, many women pay special attention to breast examinations, because if the breasts are not effectively examined, in case they develop breast hyperplasia or breast cancer, it will cause great damage to their breasts and even cause serious consequences to their bodies. Therefore, many women want to know what breast cancer examination items are included. In order for you to understand more clearly, take a look below. Breast examination items: 1. Palpation The key points of palpation are to understand whether there are lumps in the breast and the nature of the lumps; whether the regional lymph nodes are enlarged. During palpation, the doctor sits beside the patient, or asks the patient to lie flat with a small pillow under the shoulders. When palpating the inner half of the breast, ask the patient to raise her arm; when palpating the outer half, ask the patient to let her upper arm hang by her side. 2. Breast B-ultrasound examination Breast B-ultrasound is an economical, simple, non-invasive and painless examination method. It is more suitable for young women, especially pregnant and lactating women, but its sensitivity in detecting microcalcifications is not as good as mammography. The two methods can complement each other and improve the detection rate of breast cancer. 3. Mammography What are the breast examination items? Plain X-ray is the most basic X-ray examination method. In parts of the human body with good natural contrast, such as the chest and skeletal system, any abnormal density changes can be shown on the plain film. Special examinations or contrast examinations are only used when necessary. The above is a detailed introduction to the breast examination items. Through these introductions, I believe many women have already understood the breast examination items. Therefore, for many women who value their breast health, they can use the above-introduced examination methods to ensure the health of their breasts by performing regular breast examinations. |
