What are the tests for breast tenderness?

As a secondary sexual characteristic of women, breasts are attracting more and more attention from female friends in this era of high incidence of breast diseases, because they are also a symbol of female beauty. Moreover, in addition to this, they have a glorious mission to be the "granary" of the next generation, so their health is very important. So, what are the tests for breast tenderness? In fact, it is very necessary for female friends to understand this, because it will be of some help to themselves.

Breast tenderness tests include:

1. Breast lump. It usually appears on one side of the breast, has a hard texture, grows quickly, and is movable. If it invades the pectoral muscles or chest wall, it will have poor mobility or be fixed.

2. Skin changes. Breast cancer invading the skin can cause specific changes in the skin, which can be best described by using orange peel as an analogy. There is also a special type of breast cancer, which is mainly manifested by inflammatory changes in the breast skin. The skin color changes from light red to dark red, accompanied by skin edema and thickening, and increased surface temperature, which can spread from local areas to the entire breast.

3. Nipple changes. Tumor invasion of the nipple can cause nipple inversion. If the lump is large, it will cause one breast to swell, making it impossible for the nipples on both sides to remain at the same level.

4. Nipple discharge. If no obvious lump is found, but bloody or liquid discharge from the nipple occurs, you should seek medical attention promptly to be alert to the occurrence of breast cancer.

5. Superficial lymph node enlargement If you find enlarged lymph nodes in the armpits or above the clavicle, especially those that are hard in texture and have poor mobility (or may be mobile), you should suspect the possibility of breast cancer. Women who are obese, have early menarche, late menopause, or have a family history of the disease are at high risk of breast cancer. If they experience the above symptoms, they should pay more attention.

To sum up, we have introduced above what to check for breast pain. I believe that female friends will have a better understanding of their breasts, which will be helpful for preventing breast diseases. So, you should pay attention to your body so that you can know about problems early. I wish you all a healthy body.
