Women should be careful of small "land mines" on their breasts

Young women sometimes find that there are cherry-sized lumps on their breasts that are smooth, firm, have clear boundaries, are easy to move and are painless. Due to shyness, they seldom go to the hospital for treatment. In addition, the small bumps on the breasts are painless, grow slowly, and do not cause any discomfort, so people may develop a lucky mentality and think that massage or taking some medicine will make them disappear on their own. Little do people know that this idea is very unscientific.

Breast is one of the most common sites for tumors

Small lumps in the breasts of people between the ages of 20 and 30 are mostly benign tumors, also known as breast fibroids. If you do not pay attention to the small bumps on your breasts before marriage, after marriage, due to pregnancy, with the increase of progesterone and estrogen in the body, the breast alveoli proliferate, the breasts enlarge, and the fibroids in the breasts also grow rapidly. There will be many unfavorable factors if treatment is carried out at this time. For example, during pregnancy, surgical treatment may cause miscarriage; surgical anesthesia and postoperative medication will have a certain impact on the intellectual development and health of the newborn. Therefore, if you find small bumps on your breasts, you should seek medical treatment as soon as possible.

The "eczema" that appears on the breasts of middle-aged women is a malignant tumor

At the beginning, red spots appear on the nipple and areola, with itching and burning sensations. It is often mistakenly treated as nipple eczema, and patients do not take it seriously. After the lesion is eroded, there is often exudate and a layer of yellow-brown scab is formed. Even if the scab is peeled off, the eroded surface will still appear. The skin of the nipple and areola is hard, but has clear boundaries with the surrounding skin. As the disease progresses, the nipple may become inverted and a small amount of yellowish mucus may ooze out of the nipple. In the late stage, lymph node metastasis will occur and swollen lymph nodes can be felt in the armpits. Therefore, once middle-aged women find eczema-like lesions on their nipples, they should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.
