What are the dangers of breast fibroids?

A woman's breasts are a sign of her charm and can be used for breastfeeding after giving birth. However, judging from the incidence of breast cancer in recent years, the chance of breast cancer in women is gradually increasing. Especially breast fibroadenomas, although the most common ones are basically benign breast fibroadenomas. Generally, patients with breast fibroids have relatively small tumors in the early stages and are difficult to detect. So what are the dangers of breast fibroids?

The only symptom of this disease is the development of breast fibroid lumps, which are generally not accompanied by pain. Some patients may also have breast hyperplasia.

Is breast fibroid serious? The hazards of breast fibroids include:

1. Early harm: A few may experience varying degrees of tenderness or nipple discharge: Breast fibroids grow rapidly, which can cause depression of the skin on the surface of the tumor, the nipple to deviate in the direction of the tumor, and nipple inversion.

2. Harms in the middle and late stages: Tumor cachexia syndrome due to loss of appetite may occur: loss of appetite is both a factor of cachexia and a clinical manifestation of cachexia. Symptoms such as loss of appetite, anorexia, weight loss, fatigue, anemia and fever may occur, and in severe cases, it may be life-threatening.

3. Late-stage hazards: Lymph node metastasis and ipsilateral axillary lymph node enlargement may occur: the number of enlarged lymph nodes continues to increase and they adhere to each other into clumps. A small number of patients may experience contralateral axillary lymph node metastasis. Spinal metastasis may cause severe pain in the affected area or even paraplegia. Liver metastasis may cause jaundice and hepatomegaly.

The main causes of breast fibroids are: imbalance of estrogen levels, oversensitivity of local breast tissue to estrogen, high-fat diet, etc. When patients find themselves feeling uncomfortable in daily life, they should go to the local hospital for examination in time. After diagnosis, they should receive treatment for the cause to avoid more serious consequences!

The above is a brief introduction to the dangers of breast fibroids. In our daily lives, there are many young female friends who do not know how to protect our breasts. Because breast diseases usually occur in middle-aged women, it is the main reason why we do not pay attention to it. What I want to tell you here is that no matter what age women are, they should not ignore paying attention to their breasts.
