Breast lumps are a problem that most women will experience. Women should be alert once they find lumps in their breasts. Most serious tumors and breast diseases are transformed from lumps. Therefore, people with breast lumps should pay attention to see if the lumps tend to get bigger, if they cause pain, and if they will move. So what is the cause of the large lump in the breast?

What breast diseases can cause breast lumps?

1. Breast hyperplasia

The lump can occur anywhere in the breast, on one or both sides, and can be single or multiple.

2. Breast lobular hyperplasia

It can be single or multiple and can affect both breasts. After menstruation, breast pain may be relieved and the lumps may become softer and smaller.

3. Breast fibroadenosis

Breast pain may be mild, such as premenstrual distension or pain, or may be unrelated to menstruation. Long-term dull pain in both breasts may worsen before menstruation, or the pain may occur at irregular times.

4. Breast fibrosis

It often presents as a painless mass with unclear boundaries. It is not obvious with the menstrual cycle.

5. Cystic hyperplasia of the breast

It is a hard mass with unclear boundaries and irregular shapes, scattered in the local breast or throughout the breast.

6. Breast fibroadenoma

This disease is most common in women aged 18-25 years old, and is mostly a single painless lump discovered occasionally.

Which foods should be eaten more

[1] Whole-wheat products: including oatmeal, whole-wheat biscuits, whole-wheat bread, etc. Especially for pregnant women in the north, it is necessary to replace the sesame seed cakes and fried dough sticks for breakfast with oatmeal porridge, although it may be a little uncomfortable. Oatmeal can keep you more energetic and lower the cholesterol level in your body. Of course, don't buy those sweet-tasting, processed oats. Natural oats without any sugar or other added ingredients are more effective. You can add some peanuts, raisins or honey according to your preference. Small snacks such as whole-wheat biscuits can be very effective in relieving morning sickness if chewed slowly; whole-wheat bread can provide rich iron and zinc.
