What causes cystic breast lumps?

There are many common breast diseases in women, the most common of which is mastitis. This disease has a great impact on women's bodies. Women suffering from this disease should receive timely treatment, otherwise, if mastitis becomes serious, it will turn into breast cancer, which is also a threat to women's lives. So what are the cystic lumps in the breast? Women are not very clear about it, so let's introduce it in detail below.

What causes cystic breast lumps?

Breast tenderness: Common symptoms include unilateral or bilateral breast tenderness 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.

Breast lumps: What are cystic breast lumps? Experts say that they are often multiple, unilateral or bilateral, and more common in the upper quadrant; and the size and texture often change cyclically with menstruation. Before menstruation, the lumps increase in size and become harder, while after menstruation, the lumps shrink and become tough but not hard. 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.

The causes of cystic breast hyperplasia are not complicated, and endocrine disorders caused by mental factors are an important factor. Society is constantly progressing, and everyone's treatment and opportunities are different, so it is difficult for people to maintain a peaceful state of mind. Moreover, modern people are generally under great mental stress, and society's demands on everyone are increasing. Women may no longer be as stable as before in work, interpersonal relationships, and family situations, but are full of changing factors. As a result, some women experience endocrine disorders and autonomic nervous system disorders caused by mental factors, as well as poor sleep and bad temper, all of which will have adverse effects on the breast.

After understanding what breast cystic lumps are, women must choose the correct treatment method when improving breast problems. During the treatment process, they should also consult if they don’t understand something. This way, they will know what to do when treating the disease, which will help them treat their own disease.
