What are the clinical manifestations of breast hyperplasia?

As a major reproductive organ of women, the breast is also more susceptible to stimulation and disease, and breast hyperplasia is one of the most common diseases. However, many female friends are not aware of the discomfort caused by breast hyperplasia, which may delay the treatment of the disease. Then follow the editor and deepen your understanding by reading the following content.

1. Breast pain: general or bilateral breast distension, tingling or dull pain. The pain is so severe that you cannot touch or walk. The pain is mainly in the swelling of the breasts and can radiate to the armpits, chest, shoulders, back, and upper limbs. Some also present as nipple pain or itching. The pain fluctuates with the mood and menstrual cycle, often aggravated before menstruation or when you are angry or depressed. The pain is significantly reduced or disappears after menstruation.

2. Breast lumps: Single or multiple lumps in one or both breasts, mostly located on the outer and upper part of the breast, in the form of flakes, nodules, granules or cords, with flakes being more common. The lumps have unclear boundaries, are medium or slightly hard, are movable and have no adhesion to surrounding tissues, may be tender, and vary in size, ranging from as small as sand grains to larger than 3-4CM. Breast lumps increase in size before menstruation and decrease in size and soften after menstruation.

3. Skin changes: Most breast diseases do not cause any changes in the skin. Acute mastitis often causes skin redness and swelling. Breast tuberculosis or plasma cell mastitis may cause skin ulcers or fistulas. The skin may become wrinkled or sunken to form "dimples" in breast hyperplasia. If eczema and itching recur around the nipple and do not heal for a long time, it may be Paget's disease, a special type of breast hyperplasia.

4. Associated symptoms: Patients often feel depressed or irritable, and may also experience dysmenorrhea, irregular menstruation, etc. A small number of patients have brown or yellowish liquid secreting from their nipples.

To sum up, breast hyperplasia can cause quite a lot of clinical manifestations in female patients, but they are also relatively easy to distinguish. The editor would like to remind female friends here that if you experience any discomfort in the breast area, you should immediately go for a breast examination so that you can receive treatment as soon as possible.
