What's wrong with the breast lump?

Some women found a lump in their breasts, so they began to worry and didn't know what breast disease they had. The clinical manifestations of hyperplasia of mammary glands are breast lump and breast pain. About 80% patients have symptoms of breast pain. If women have these symptoms, they should be alert to whether there is breast hyperplasia and go to the hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible.

Hyperplasia of mammary glands is often manifested as breast marks, breast swelling and pain, and is often unstable. It can be aggravated before menstruation, and emotional changes, fatigue and weather changes are often aggravated. Breast lumps are the main basis for the diagnosis of breast diseases. Most of them are multiple, with different sizes, hard or tough texture, no adhesion to the skin, and the surface of the lumps is often not smooth and granular to the touch.

The prominent manifestations of breast hyperplasia are breast swelling and pain and breast lumps.

(1) Breast pain: It is usually unilateral or bilateral breast pain or tenderness. The course of the disease ranges from 2 months to several years, and most patients have the characteristics of periodic pain, which appears or aggravates in the pre-menstrual period and relieves or disappears after menstruation. It must be noted that although the periodicity of breast pain is a typical manifestation of this disease, people who lack this feature cannot deny the existence of this disease.

Breast mass: often multiple, unilateral or bilateral, more common in the upper quadrant; And the size and texture often change with menstrual cycle. The premenstrual mass is enlarged and the texture is hard. After menstruation, the lump shrinks and the texture is tough but not hard. During palpation, palpable masses are nodular in structure, with different sizes, unclear boundaries with surrounding tissues, tenderness, no adhesion with skin and deep tissues, and no swelling of axillary lymph nodes.

In addition, the course of disease is long, the development is slow, and sometimes nipple discharge occurs. Nodules of different sizes in the breast are essentially cystic dilatation of large and small mammary ducts, and nipple discharge comes from these cysts, which are yellow-green, brown or bloody, with occasional colorless serosity.

(3) Menstrual disorder: patients with this disease can see irregular menstruation before and after menstruation, which may be accompanied by dysmenorrhea.

(4) Emotional changes: Patients often show depression or irritability, which is aggravated every time they are angry, nervous or tired.
