There is a lump in the breast that hurts when pressed

There are many reasons why there are lumps in the breast that hurt when pressed. It may be mastitis or breast hyperplasia, or it may be the presence of accessory breasts. Women need to pay attention to breast examinations and then choose treatment methods based on the condition. If there is a lump in the breast that is a little painful when pressed, it is usually breast hyperplasia. Breast hyperplasia can occur in any part of the breast and will worsen during menstruation, requiring surgical treatment.

1. First of all, you should consider whether mastitis has occurred. Its occurrence will cause women to have severe breast pain before menstruation, which will be alleviated or disappear after menstruation. If a breastfeeding woman has lumps and pain in her breasts, it is likely caused by blocked milk ducts. If not treated in time, it is likely to develop into mastitis.

2. There are many breast diseases that can cause breast lumps, such as breast hyperplasia. The lumps of breast hyperplasia can occur in any part of the breast and may be multiple or single. Many women also suffer from breast fibroadenosis, which causes pain when pressed gently and worsens during menstruation.

Nowadays, there are many women suffering from breast diseases. The symptoms are not obvious in the early stages, which causes women to ignore the problem. If a lump appears in the breast accompanied by pain, be alert and check whether there is cancer and find out specifically what the problem is. During the examination, you need to know whether the lump has grown in size, whether it is painful, and whether it feels irregular in shape. The best way is to use a hot towel and massage gently.

In daily life, you should also pay attention to protecting your breasts. There are two things you need to pay attention to.
