Some patients have a misunderstanding about breast disease. They think that they have lumps in their breasts, but they don’t hurt or itch, so they don’t need to worry about it. They think they are sick only when they feel pain. In fact, this is wrong. On the contrary, clinically, the less painful a breast lump is, the more attention it should be paid. Because painless breast lumps are one of the characteristics of breast cancer.

Generally speaking, inflammatory breast lumps are often accompanied by severe breast pain, and the local lumps are also accompanied by obvious inflammatory reactions such as redness, swelling, heat, and pain. The lumps may become purulent and ulcerated. After anti-inflammatory treatment and local drainage, the inflammation will subside and the lumps may disappear. Hyperplastic breast lumps are often accompanied by premenstrual breast tenderness. The pain may be relieved after menstruation and the lumps may also shrink. The lumps are often multiple, soft or tough in texture, and may be mild to moderate tenderness locally. They may improve to varying degrees after symptomatic drug treatment.
