Are breast nodules scary?

Breast nodules are not a disease. Through physical examination, B-ultrasound, or other auxiliary examinations such as mammography, some new growths or small tumors may be found in the breast. These small things can be called nodules, which is just an adjective. However, the specific nature of the nodule needs to be judged by a clinician. Only based on the results of physical examination or auxiliary examinations can it be determined whether the nature of the nodule tends to be benign or malignant. There is a nodule in one breast, and it is difficult to judge its severity.

Breast nodules are a symptom that is common in breast hyperplasia (which can form breast cysts) and breast tumor diseases.

Patients with breast nodules usually find lumps on one or both sides of the breast.

Causes

1. Environment and genetics

Medicine believes that marriage, childbirth, diet, the external environment in which people live, and genetic factors are the main causes of breast disease.

2. Emotional instability

Long-term emotional instability in women can cause pigmentation, menstrual disorders, and the occurrence of breast nodules.

3. Endocrine disorders

Endocrine promotes breast growth and development through the secretion of estrogen. Once the endocrine system is out of balance or disordered, breast diseases and breast nodules may easily develop.

4. Other factors

In a rapidly developing society, women who are under excessive stress, overwork, and have an disharmonious sex life can develop hormone imbalances, which in turn cause breast nodules.
