What causes breast granules?

Women’s breasts are relatively sensitive, especially those who are breastfeeding. They should keep their breasts clean and massage them more often to protect the patency of the mammary glands. But what is the reason why some women develop lumps on their breasts? This issue needs to be viewed from several aspects. The fleshy lumps on the breasts may be lipomas, which are generally benign and are more likely to form in obese women. In addition, it is necessary to consider whether they are caused by diseases. If there is pain, medical treatment should be sought.

1. What are small lumps on the breast?

Small fleshy particles on the breasts may be breast lipomas, which can occur in any structure with adipose tissue but are most common on the body surface and in the breasts. It mostly occurs in obese female patients, and the age of onset is mostly between 30 and 50 years old. The main manifestations are single, round or lobed soft masses with clear boundaries, slow growth, and very few malignant changes. Treatment is mainly surgical resection.

2. What to do if small lumps grow on the breasts

1. Avoid long-term mental stimulation. Long-term mental stimulation (such as intimidation, sadness, anxiety or nervousness, etc.) can cause dysfunction of the cerebral cortex, and then cause endocrine disorders, making the small grains on the breasts more obvious.

2. Avoid eating high-protein, high-fat, spicy and high-salt foods. Because these can increase plasma osmotic pressure, thereby stimulating the thirst center in the brain; and can easily help fire generate heat, turn into dryness and damage yin, aggravating symptoms such as small fleshy particles on the breasts.

3. Avoid drinking tea and coffee. Tea and coffee contain theanine and caffeine, which can excite the central nervous system, enhance myocardial contractility, and aggravate small lumps on the breast.

Treatment of Breast Lipomas

Experts recommend the use of both Chinese and Western medicine for the treatment of lipomas. Surgical resection with Western medicine will cause the lipoma to grow larger, especially multiple lipomas should not be treated surgically, because the lipoma will grow larger and larger with each resection. Breast lipoma is a benign tumor, and patients only need regular observation and treatment. This tumor grows faster, and when it is larger in size, the lipoma can be actively treated. The resected tissue should be sent for pathological examination to avoid missed diagnosis due to the combination of other tumors.
