It is not a good thing for adult women to have suddenly enlarged breasts

The incidence of breast cancer in women increases with age, especially those who give birth for the first time at the age of 35 or above, who have a higher risk than those with no childbearing history. In addition, women with a history of breast cancer in their first-degree direct family have a 2 to 3 times higher risk of developing breast cancer than the normal population. It should be emphasized that breast cancer is not a direct inheritance of the disease, but a kind of inheritance of "cancer quality". The relatives of breast cancer patients do not necessarily suffer from breast cancer, but the possibility of suffering from breast cancer is greater than that of the average person. These high-risk groups need to be alert to common danger signs of breast cancer:

1. A painless, non-red nodule or lump is found in the breast.

2. Nipple elevation or ulcers on the nipple or areola.

3. Repeated bloody discharge from the nipple. The so-called nipple discharge refers to the phenomenon that the nipple naturally discharges liquid outside the lactation period.

4. Swelling in the armpit, especially swollen lymph nodes in one armpit.

5. Women over 30 years old may experience rapid breast enlargement within a few weeks, accompanied by skin redness and swelling.

For women over 35 years old, it is recommended to have a breast ultrasound examination once a year, and it is also recommended to join the molybdenum-palladium-X project, with a diagnosis rate of up to 90%.

With the widespread use of high-resolution color ultrasound in breast examinations, more and more tiny breast masses that are negative on clinical palpation are being detected. The qualitative diagnosis and removal of tiny breast masses have become a new challenge in breast surgery. Open surgery is a commonly used method for biopsy of breast lesions that were previously negative on clinical palpation. However, 90% of the surgical results are diagnosed as benign lesions, and there is no guarantee of successful localized excision. Open surgical excision also has disadvantages such as large operational damage and surgical scars that affect the cosmetic effect, causing great harm to the patient's body and mind. At present, through our hard work, we have mastered the minimally invasive resection of palpation-negative breast masses with Mammotome. The Mammotome minimally invasive biopsy system can completely remove the lesion with minimal trauma, with only a tiny incision of 3 to 5 mm on the skin, and has little effect on the appearance of the breast. Especially for multiple lesions, the advantages of Mammotome minimally invasive surgery are more evident. Minimally invasive resection of tiny benign breast tumors that are negative on palpation can prevent the tumors from becoming malignant and reduce the incidence of breast cancer.
