What should I do if there is a lump in my breast?

Breast health is not only related to women's physical health, but also to the harmony of a family. Therefore, women attach great importance to breast health. Many women prefer to have a breast examination once a year, which can ensure timely detection of breast diseases. However, some phenomena are difficult to detect. For example, what should I do if there is a lump in the breast?

Under normal circumstances, when examining the breast, you need to press it flat with your hands. If you can feel a lump by pressing it flat, it usually means there is an abnormality. Normal breast tissue cannot be felt by pressing it flat.

1. There are single or multiple lumps in one or both breasts, which often occur on the upper outer part of the breast and are nodular, granular or linear in shape, but are more common in the form of lumps. The breast lump has unclear boundaries, medium or slightly hard texture, can be moved slightly, has no adhesion to surrounding tissues when moving, may be tender, and varies in size, some as small as sand grains, and some larger than 3-4CM. The breast lumps increase in size before menstruation and then shrink and soften after menstruation.

2. Lumps in the breast may be fibroadenoma, lipoma, cyst, hyperplasia, tumor (malignant), etc. Adenoma and hyperplasia are more common in normal times, but tumors cannot be completely ruled out, and further examination is needed to determine the nature of the tumor.

suggestion:

1. Do not wear tight bras, do not irritate the tumor, go to the hospital for a breast mammography or B-ultrasound examination, and receive targeted treatment after determining the nature of the tumor. Some growths can be treated with medication, others require surgery.

2. Considering breast fibroids and breast hyperplasia, B-ultrasound and mammography examinations are recommended. Once diagnosed, closely monitor its size and mobility. If the mass continues to grow, surgical removal is recommended. Eat more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins, avoid high-fat diets, spicy, grilled, and fried foods. Keep your mood happy.
