Can you massage nodules in the breast?

Patients with nodules in the breast should not be massaged. Repeated massage and repeated stimulation of breast nodules may lead to an increase in the size of the nodules, in addition, it may also lead to changes in the cells inside the nodules, which may develop into malignant tumors of the breast, so it is recommended that patients should go to the hospital for regular review and avoid treatment through massage and stimulation. The main purpose of the examination is to clarify the benignity and malignancy of the breast nodules. In addition, the nodules can be graded, and breast ultrasound or mammography can be done. For small benign nodules, regular observation is usually possible, such as a half-yearly review of the breast ultrasound. For larger nodules, minimally invasive surgery should be considered to remove them without leaving significant scars on the surface.
