What does breast nodule mean?

Both breast hyperplasia and breast nodules are common breast diseases among women. In recent years, the incidence of breast hyperplasia and breast nodules has remained high, and they have become the biggest culprits endangering women's breast health. However, although both are breast diseases, there are still differences between breast hyperplasia and small nodules. So what do small breast nodules mean? Let me explain it in detail for everyone below.

What does a breast nodule mean?

Breast nodules are more common in women. Most of the breast lumps are caused by endocrine imbalance or imbalance in the ratio of estrogen and female hormones. They mostly occur in women aged 20-40. The disease of these young women is generally slow. Initially, most people feel some pain or a lump in the breast during ultrasound examination. Very few may be accompanied by a low-grade fever, night sweats, or inflammation. Once you find breast nodules, you should rest more, eat properly, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and don't stay up late, because breast lumps are related to mentality, diet and exercise. If the breast nodules increase, expand, or have obvious symptoms during routine physical examinations, you can take active breast treatment drugs orally. If there are no symptoms, you only need to have a routine breast examination once every six months to a year to observe whether there is any growth.

What is the difference between breast nodules and hyperplasia?

(1) Breast nodules belong to cystic breast hyperplasia, a non-tumor disease that mainly occurs in women of appropriate age. They usually get better or even disappear after menopause. Fibrocystic breast disease refers to the disorder of the normal functions of the breast, which causes the physiological proliferation and incomplete restoration of the breast lobules. It is a type of breast disease that is neither inflammatory nor tumorous.

(2) When it comes to the difference between breast hyperplasia and nodules, the key point that patients need to establish is that breast nodules are a form of breast hyperplasia, which is very common in clinical medicine. In daily life, more than half of women may have the problem of breast nodules. Generally speaking, small breast nodules are not a big problem, but sometimes they cannot be distinguished from tumors, so they need to be taken seriously immediately and certain effective measures should be taken to treat them.

(3) There are many causes of breast nodules. At present, the main causes of breast nodules include endocrine hormone disorders, genetic mutations and even the impact of air pollution. As for the difference between breast hyperplasia and nodules, breast hyperplasia, in addition to being affected by endocrine hormone disorders, will also change with the occurrence of the menstrual cycle and the onset of pregnancy, which will cause severe pain to the patient and requires immediate and effective measures to alleviate it.

The above is an introduction to the differences between breast nodules and hyperplasia. I believe that after reading the above article, everyone will have a deeper understanding of the differences between breast hyperplasia and breast nodules. Although both are common breast diseases, the difference between them cannot be ignored. After the relevant symptoms appear, different medications must be used in time to prevent the damage from being further expanded.
