There is a small hardness near the middle of the breast, which feels a little painful. What's going on here?

Breast lumps will appear in many cases, such as lobular hyperplasia and fibroma of the breast. It is necessary for you to go to the hospital for targeted examination, early diagnosis and early treatment. When most people feel a lump in their breasts, their first reaction is "Do I have breast cancer?" But the swelling or lump in your breast doesn't necessarily mean you have breast cancer. There is still a considerable distance between them. Breast diseases generally emphasize women in health education. In fact, although the probability of men suffering from breast cancer is low, men also have breasts. Of course, all breast problems can also occur in men. What if I find a lump in my breast? Don't panic once you find a lump or swelling in your breast. It can be observed for several days. If there is tenderness and obvious lump, you need to find a doctor of breast surgery for careful examination, and communicate fully with the doctor to thoroughly understand the causes of swelling and swelling. Causes of breast pain: Breast pain is partly due to the stimulation of estrogen and lutein, which causes breast pain, sometimes nipple pain and transparent secretion. This situation generally occurs in the premenstrual period and disappears after menstruation. Some people have irregular swelling and pain. This kind of breast pain does not necessarily have a breast tumor. Even if there is a breast lump, it is not necessarily breast cancer. Because there are few obvious symptoms such as pain in the early stage of breast cancer, it can be known mainly through breast self-examination and mammography. Only breast cancer is big enough to invade the nerves around the chest wall will it hurt. Therefore, most of the occasional breast pain can be checked step by step without being too anxious. Some swelling and pain or lumps were initially diagnosed as breast tumors. Most of these breast tumors are benign, but they may also be a precursor of breast cancer: breast fibrocyst: this is the most common benign breast tumor, which mostly occurs in women over 30 years old, often with multiple breasts on both sides, swelling and tenderness, and more serious premenstrual symptoms. Breast fibroadenoma: it is common in women around the age of 20. The breast will feel hard, but there will be no tenderness. Enlargement of mammary duct: it is more common in women around 40 years old, and the nipples on both sides will secrete some viscous liquid. The patient will have a burning sensation and a dull pain in the areola. When palpated, there will be a bent and swollen mammary duct under the areola. Breast lump is a common disease in women. Because of its shallow location, most of the symptoms can be found early through self-examination before they appear. The key is that patients should have the consciousness of regular self-examination and master the correct inspection methods. Once you find a lump, you should seek medical attention in time and find it regularly (once a month, preferably one week after menstruation). ) check yourself when you take a shower. The correct method is: ① Check both breasts with both hands crossed (check the right side with the left hand and the left side with the right hand). ② Close the other four fingers except the thumb, gently press each finger, and touch all areas of the whole breast in turn. Normal breasts are soft, and when there is a lump, I feel something sliding under my fingers. (3) don't grasp the breast by hand, because grasping will make the breast normal. I feel like a lump, even if there is a lump, I can't find it clearly. Early diagnosis can only be made according to the patient's age, medical history characteristics and the nature of the mass, combined with necessary auxiliary examinations (such as B-ultrasound, infrared ray, molybdenum target photography, fine needle aspiration biopsy, etc.). ). All kinds of lesions have their own characteristics: for example, common breast fibroadenoma is more common in adolescent women, and the lump is smooth and easy to move; Intraductal papilloma is located in areola area, the mass is small and inconspicuous, and the nipple bleeds; Cystosarcoma phyllodes can quickly grow into large pieces in a short time; Breast cancer is more common in the elderly, with hard masses and poor activity, and may have axillary lymph node enlargement. In addition, hyperplasia of mammary glands can occur in one or both breasts, often causing premenstrual pain, which will be relieved or disappeared after menstrual cramps; Palpation can find gland hyperplasia, thick gland, unsmooth surface, tenderness, unclear boundary and hard texture. Early treatment of benign breast tumors may also lead to malignant transformation, so breast masses generally need to be surgically removed. Even breast cancer is not incurable. If it can be found, diagnosed and treated early, combined with necessary comprehensive treatment (such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy) after operation, it can also be cured.
