Breast nodules acquired after menopause are usually not dangerous if they are benign and the nodules are small. However, if the nodules are relatively large and malignant, patients need to consider surgery, which can be dangerous. Breast nodules are solid breast occupations, and they can be broadly categorized into benign and malignant nodules. When palpating a benign nodule, you can feel that the nodule is relatively firm in texture, relatively smooth on the surface, has good mobility when pushed, and there is no obvious adhesion between the surrounding skin and chest muscles. In the case of malignant nodules, the texture is firmer on palpation and the edges are not smooth and clear. Malignant breast nodules can be life-threatening and require early and aggressive treatment. If you have breast nodules after menopause, it is recommended that you go to the hospital in time to avoid discomfort.
