What are the examination items for breast hyperplasia?

Many women become alert when they first notice breast pain or feel a lump. In fact, all these chest discomforts are typical manifestations of breast hyperplasia, but they cannot be used to confirm the diagnosis. The judgment should be made based on the results of corresponding examination items. So what tests do patients need to do? Next, let me tell you one by one.

1. B-ultrasound examination: It has become a commonly used examination method in clinical medicine due to its convenience, economy, non-invasiveness and painlessness. With the development of ultrasonic imaging and the application of high-frequency ultrasound, the resolution of ultrasound has been greatly improved. It can detect tiny lesions in the breast, especially breast hyperplasia, and the identification of cystic and solid tumors, which is difficult to be replaced by other imaging methods.

2. Mammary gland X-ray examination: Mammary gland X-ray examination is an important means to detect early cancer and microcancer, but it is not necessary to check repeatedly in a short period of time, especially during adolescence, pregnancy and lactation, when the breasts are sensitive to X-rays. Excessive exposure will increase the incidence of breast cancer. Generally, you should have a mammography examination at least once before the age of 30, every 2-3 years between the ages of 30 and 40, and once every 1-2 years after the age of 40. The examination of microcalcification is unmatched by other imaging examinations.

3. Breast MRI examination: Breast MRI examination has high sensitivity and medium specificity. Because of its relatively high price, long inspection time, and relatively small and closed space, it is not yet popular. It has great advantages in the treatment of small breast cancers that are negative in breast X-ray and ultrasound examinations, postoperative follow-up, examination of breast prosthesis implants or breast augmentation injections, nipple discharge, and screening of high-risk groups.

In general, if you want to determine whether a patient suffers from breast hyperplasia, the three examinations required are the three mentioned in the article. As long as you complete them one by one, you can basically achieve 100% accuracy. In addition, the editor recommends that after the final diagnosis, timely treatment must be carried out to eliminate the lesions in time.
