Breast lumps are more dangerous when they are not painful When it comes to breast lumps, people quickly think of breast cancer. Breast is an important physiological organ of a woman and a symbol of female beauty, so no woman will not take care of her breasts. However, since many lumps that cause breast disease are not painful in the early stages. Therefore, professional doctors told reporters that some patients have a misconception about breast disease, thinking that they have a “small lump” on the breast, no pain, no itch, do not care, in fact, this is wrong. Many people wait until the lump is painful before going to the hospital for treatment, but often the time for treatment has been missed. Which breast lumps don’t hurt Over the weekend, Xiao Jing accompanied her good friend Yun Yun to the hospital. For some time, Yun Yun Yun has been telling Xiao Jing that her breasts are more painful, especially before and after her menstrual period, which is swollen and painful, especially uncomfortable. “I don’t have breast cancer, do I?” Yunyun said with some fear. Looking at Yunyun’s panicked look, Xiaojing decided to accompany Yunyun to the hospital to see a doctor. After arriving at the hospital, the doctor said that Yunyun only had breast enlargement, and that it would be better to regulate her mood and take some medicine to regulate it. Yunyun asked Xiaojing to also check by the way, so as not to panic when the pain later. Who knows, Xiaojing’s problem is much more serious than Yunyun’s. The doctor told Xiaojing that she had some very small lumps growing inside her breasts, which might be fibroadenoma and needed further examination and treatment. “I’ve never felt any breast pain, so how come I have lumps too?” Xiao Jing was confused by the unexpected test result. The doctor told her, “Many breast lumps are painless, yet they may be tumors.” Breast cancer, fibroadenoma, papilloma, breast tuberculosis, all these breast lumps are painless in the early stage, but by the time they start to hurt, they are already in the advanced stage, which is detrimental to treatment. How to distinguish a painless lump “Clinically, the more painless a breast lump is, the more attention should be paid to it. This is because painless breast lumps happen to be one of the characteristics of breast tumors such as breast cancer.” Li Meng circle said. So how to distinguish these non-painful breast lumps? People know that hyperplastic breast lumps are often accompanied by premenstrual breast swelling and pain, and this pain is better to distinguish, while other non-painful breast lumps need more observation by patients themselves. In breast cancer, there is usually no obvious pain and discomfort in the early stage, but only in the late stage when the local skin is ulcerated and infiltrated will there be pain. These lumps are hard, with an unsmooth surface, little mobility, and unclear borders. Breast fibroadenoma lumps are also not painful, they are mostly regular and round, with clear borders and large mobility, and are usually no more than 3-4 cm in diameter, and almost never have skin ulceration or infiltration, which are the main differences from malignant lumps. The lumps of papilloma are usually very small, only near the areola, 0.5 cm in size, without pain, but with overflowing nipples and blood. The lumps of breast tuberculosis are harder and do not feel pain themselves, but they do feel pain when you press on them with your hand. Early detection of lumps Stay away from breast disease How can we detect breast lumps that are not painful and stay away from breast tumor troubles? “On the one hand, women can often perform self-examination by lying flat on the bed with one hand raised and the other hand checking the breast on this side of the raised hand to see if there is a lump in the breast.” Li Meng circle said. “On the other hand, women should understand the age group where various breast tumors are highly prevalent, and then go to the hospital for regular medical checkups according to their age.” In general, women aged 12-18 in puberty are prone to fibroadenoma, and women aged 18-35 have a higher chance of breast enlargement, but due to various factors such as excessive stress in women’s lives and environmental pollution in recent years, the incidence of breast cancer among women in this age group is also on the rise. the incidence of malignant tumors such as breast cancer is higher among women aged 35 and above. Therefore, in order to prevent the delay of treatment for breast lumps that are not painful, women over 35 years old should have regular breast examinations (once a year or once every six months), and women under 35 years old should also try to have breast examinations once a year or once every two years.
