What happens if there is a serious lump in the breast?

Don’t underestimate the phenomenon of breast lumps, as they may be symptoms of certain diseases. There are many possibilities for the appearance of lumps in the breast, such as fibrocystic changes, fibroadenoma, breast cancer and other diseases. The more serious case is breast cancer. Generally, the treatment of this disease requires breast removal, so everyone must pay attention to breast health.

1. Fibrocystic changes:

It is the most common benign change of the breast, commonly known as hygroma, and its incidence increases with age.

2. Fibroadenoma:

It is a benign tumor that is more common in younger women and is less common after menopause.

3. Breast cancer:

The older you are, the more likely you are to get breast cancer; therefore, most breast cancer patients are women over 50 years old. In addition, factors that increase a woman's risk of developing breast cancer include having a direct relative (mother/sister) with breast cancer, early menstruation/late menopause, and having no children.

4. Bacterial mastitis associated with breastfeeding.

Preventive Care

Common ways to prevent breast lumps include:

1. Maintain a good mood: The most feared thing about breast lumps is a bad mood. Because of a good mood, the normal ovulation of the ovaries will not be hindered by bad emotions, the secretion of progesterone will not decrease, and the breast will not become diseased due to unilateral stimulation of estrogen. The diseased breast may even gradually recover under the care of progesterone.

2. Maintain regular sleep: Sleep is not only beneficial to balance endocrine, but also provides a good environment for various hormones in the body to exert their healthy effects in a balanced manner. A good internal environment will reduce the incidence of various breast diseases.
