Fibrocystic breast disease is a relatively common breast disease, which often causes swelling or tingling in the breast area. It is especially aggravated by mood changes, fatigue, weather changes and body pain, and sometimes even causes breast discharge. 1. Breast pain is often characterized by distension or stabbing pain, which may affect one or both breasts, with one side being more severe. Those with severe pain cannot touch the breast, and may even have an impact on their daily life and work. The pain may radiate to the ipsilateral armpit or shoulder and back; some may manifest as nipple pain or itching. Breast pain often occurs or worsens a few days before menstruation and is significantly relieved or disappears after menstruation. The pain may also fluctuate with mood changes, fatigue, and weather changes. This pain related to the menstrual cycle and emotional changes is the main feature of the clinical manifestations of hyperplasia of the breast. 2. Breast lumps Lumps can occur in one or both breasts, single or multiple, and are generally found in the upper outer quadrant of the breast. It appears as flakes, nodules, cords, etc. of varying sizes, among which flakes are the most common. The border is not obvious, the texture is medium or slightly hard, there is no adhesion to the surrounding tissues, and there is often tenderness. Most breast lumps also change with the menstrual cycle. The lumps become larger and harder before menstruation, and shrink and soften after menstruation. 3.

In a few patients, discharge can be seen after squeezing the nipple. Be cautious if bloody or brown discharge occurs. |
