1. Is breast pain a precursor or symptom of breast cancer? Breast pain usually has nothing to do with breast cancer. Most of the early stages of breast cancer do not have any sensory symptoms, usually manifested as painless lumps, so painless breast lumps should be consulted as early as possible. In some cases, breast tumors have been detected at the doctor’s office because of breast pain. This does not mean that breast pain is a symptom of a breast tumor; the pain serves only to bring the patient to the hospital. However, there are a few cases of tumors that are accompanied by pain. Saying this, it is not to let you not come to the doctor for breast pain, but to tell you that breast pain is not caused by tumor in most cases, and the correct attitude is to have regular physical examination of the breasts no matter whether it is painful or not. 2.Is a painful lump necessarily not a tumor? Not necessarily, painful lumps may be breast hyperplasia, inflammation, breast cysts, and may be tumors, because some tumors may be surrounded by hyperplastic tissue, so it may also be manifested as pain, therefore, breast lumps, no matter whether they are accompanied by pain or not, are the most important thing that need to consult the doctor in time, in order to clarify the nature of the lumps. 3.What is breast pain? Breast pain is the most common symptom and the main reason for women to seek medical treatment; Chinese and foreign literature reports that 60-70% of women have experienced breast pain. Breast pain is related to endocrine disorders and breast hyperplasia. Breast hyperplasia is related to menstruation, and the cyclic changes of hormones in the body lead to the incomplete restoration of proliferating epithelial cells after menstruation, which, over time, results in the hyperplasia of the breast parenchyma and the formation of nodules or lumps; the causative mechanism and pathological changes are quite complex; the exact mechanism is not yet fully understood; strictly speaking, hyperplasia is not a disease, as almost all women have experienced these problems more or less frequently. Strictly speaking, hyperplasia is not always a disease, since almost all women experience these changes to a greater or lesser extent, but only to varying degrees. The pain is often associated with menstruation, fatigue, emotions, etc. It is important to note that breast pain is not a disease. It should be pointed out that breast pain is a benign change caused by hormonal activity in the body, generally unrelated to tumors, the severity of pain and the degree of breast hyperplasia is not proportional to the pain is not necessarily heavy hyperplasia heavy hyperplasia may also be lighter pain; mild breast pain, especially during menstruation, emotional fluctuations, anger, anger, etc., the pain caused by, usually do not need to be dealt with. Only a few patients with severe pain need treatment after excluding other causes of pain outside the breast. 4. Can breast hyperplasia be cured? As mentioned earlier, breast hyperplasia is a result of cyclical hormonal changes in the body, leading to incomplete rejuvenation of proliferating epithelial cells after menstruation, which, over time, results in hyperplasia of the breast parenchyma and the formation of nodules or masses; it is the result of an accumulation, and the exact mechanism is unknown, so it is unlikely to completely remove breast hyperplasia. The problem is that only a very small number of breast hyperplasias have the potential to become malignant, and therefore, breast hyperplasia itself is not scary. Importantly, because modern medicine cannot yet answer which growths, and in which patients, can evolve into cancer, attempting to prevent cancer by controlling the growths cannot be done at this time. What can be done at present is early detection. 5. Are there any effective drugs for treating breast hyperplasia? At present, there is no effective medicine that can completely cure breast hyperplasia; however, traditional Chinese medicine does have certain effect on certain breast hyperplasia, nodules and lumps, and there are a lot of proprietary Chinese medicines in clinic, which can be tried out under the guidance of doctors, and individuals must buy them under the guidance of specialists, and choose medicines approved by the State Drug Administration (SDA) for the treatment of breast hyperplasia. It should be pointed out that the so-called “anti-inflammatory drugs (antibacterial drugs)” does not play any role; because hyperplasia is not caused by bacteria. 6. Can hyperplastic nodules become cancerous? This is the most common question asked by patients, and the answer is yes. The evolution of breast cancer is from hyperplasia → atypical hyperplasia → carcinoma in situ → cancer. However, the percentage of hyperplasia or hyperplastic nodule that can eventually evolve into cancer is not high, the chance is a few thousand or even ten thousand. Doctors can’t tell exactly which one can turn into cancer, but can only observe it dynamically with experience, so patients are required to follow up regularly; usually for 3 months. Because in the general population, the chance of cancer is also a few ten thousandths, therefore, patients with hyperplasia nodules do not need to worry, worry, should be “” strategic contempt for the enemy, tactical attention to the enemy “close follow-up observation can be. 7. I want to treat hyperplastic nodule to prevent cancer, can’t I? Hyperplasia nodule is a form of hyperplasia, which is very common in clinic, almost 60-70% of women have it, therefore, having hyperplasia nodule is not a big problem at all, so there is no need to be obsessed about it, and be afraid of it, and not be able to sleep at night. Of course, some hyperplastic nodules are always there, especially sometimes it is difficult to distinguish them from tumors, therefore, many women have this question; the problem is that, due to the endocrine fluctuations in women’s bodies, hyperplastic nodules have the characteristics of “sometimes absent, sometimes more and sometimes less, sometimes big and sometimes small”, of course, there are also nodules that are very constant. First of all, as I said before, most hyperplastic nodules will not turn into tumors; they may always be hyperplastic nodules in their whole life, so there is no need to get rid of them; secondly, there is no effective medicine to remove hyperplastic nodules in the world; there is no medicine or method to prevent hyperplastic nodules from turning into cancer; here is an advice for everyone: don’t believe in any advertisements and propaganda, most of them are for commercial purpose and exaggerate the effects of the disease and the medicines. If there are drugs to prevent tumors in the world, will there be more and more tumors? Third, hyperplastic nodules become tumors, the body is bound to have carcinogenic potential, because the world has not yet figured out the mechanism of carcinogenesis, therefore, there is no way to know which nodule can become cancer, the doctor has to let all the hyperplastic nodule people are often come to review and monitor the changes; fourth, it must be clear that only suspected tumors require surgical excision and biopsy (to do the pathology), and the surgery can not achieve the absolute purpose of excision of the nodule to prevent tumors. Surgery cannot achieve the absolute purpose of removing the nodule to prevent tumor, because, even if you remove the nodule, there is no guarantee that it will not grow a new one in the future, and it is very likely that the nodule you removed will not turn into a tumor in the whole life, and some people may say, if it is removed only when it turns into a tumor, isn’t it too late? The reason is that no doctor in the world can accurately predict the direction of hyperplastic nodules, therefore, it is not reliable to rely on surgical resection for prevention. 100 patients with hyperplastic nodules may only have 1-2 nodules that can turn into tumors, and it is impossible for doctors to resect 100 nodules because of these 1-2 nodules, which is obviously over-medical and impractical; Fifthly, the above mentioned is not true, but it is not true that there is nothing that can be achieved by surgery. Fifth, as mentioned above, it is not true that surgery can do nothing. Clinically, there are nodules with atypical hyperplasia (precancerous lesions) and some benign lesions, such as intraductal papillomas, which can be treated aggressively, as a surgical means of preventing cancerous lesions. For example, for people at high risk of breast cancer, hyperplastic nodules in constant position with adverse changes after dynamic observation are in need of surgical management. As a reminder: these changes are to be decided whether excision biopsy or prophylactic excision is needed through the doctor’s dynamic observation, physical examination, perceptual experience of touching, as well as the morphology and dynamic changes of ultrasound molybdenum target, and the value of the doctor’s level and experience is embodied in this place, therefore, it is recommended to go to big hospitals to find the specialist doctor you trust; the reasoning here should be known to everyone, big hospitals have a lot of patients, and there is a disease Are not able to treat over, who will go to the conscience to treat not sick, coupled with the lack of experience, the ability to determine the nature of the nodule is limited, can only rely on the excision biopsy to determine whether there is a tumor present, will inevitably lead to worthless trauma. 8, breast hyperplasia or with hyperplastic nodules can be pregnant? Breast hyperplasia is completely normal for pregnancy. Hyperplastic nodules, if tumor can be ruled out, also do not affect pregnancy.
