Breast disease is often the second largest killer of women. Generally speaking, normal breast tissue is soft and elastic, but if some nodules or lumps appear in the breast, they are often pathological changes. So what exactly are the causes of small bumps in the breasts? Once you find a lump or mass in your breast, don't rush to suspect that it is a dangerous disease like breast cancer. You should first see a doctor to find out what disease the lump is caused by and whether it is benign or malignant. 1. Most lumps caused by breast hyperplasia increase and decrease with the menstrual period. The lumps caused by breast hyperplasia are irregular in shape, appearing in the form of flakes, nodules or cords, with unclear boundaries and no adhesion to the skin. They increase or decrease with the menstrual cycle and are often accompanied by breast tenderness or tingling. 2. The lumps of breast fibroadenoma are easy to be pushed. Breast fibroadenoma is the most common benign breast tumor, which occurs frequently in young women in one or both breasts. It is usually solitary, round or oval in shape, grows slowly, has clear boundaries and is easily moved, and has no adhesion to the skin. 3. Lumps caused by fibrocystic breast disease are more dangerous. Cystic breast hyperplasia is a disease characterized by cysts formed by highly dilated mammary ductules and terminal ducts, accompanied by dysplastic breast structure. Compared with ordinary breast hyperplasia, the breast hyperplasia caused by fibrocystic breast disease coexists with atypical hyperplasia and has the risk of malignant transformation. It should be regarded as a precancerous lesion and should be taken seriously. 4. Breast cancer lumps grow fast and are difficult to move. It is a painless, solitary lump in the early stages of breast cancer. It grows fast, has a rough surface, a hard texture, unclear boundaries, and is difficult to move. As the lump grows larger, it adheres to the skin. If orange peel signs such as nipple retraction, breast contracture and fixation to the chest wall, or even ulceration occur at the same time, it is very likely breast cancer. |
