★Nodules, as opposed to masses, refer to small “small masses”, basically less than 1-50 px. ★The danger of nodules lies in whether they are malignant in nature. If it is a malignant nodule, it is recommended to actively operate the pathology to remove the lesion and standardize the treatment; if it is a suspected malignant nodule, it is also recommended to operate to prevent malignant transformation and pathology to clarify the diagnosis; if it is a benign nodule, such as hyperplastic nodule, adenopathy nodule, adenoma or cyst, etc., it can be reviewed regularly. At the same time, some benign nodules (such as hyperplastic nodules, adenopathy nodules, cysts) can be reduced in size or even disappear with the aid of Chinese herbal medicine. Some benign nodules such as adenomas and other solid tumors are more difficult to eliminate, but most of them can be maintained stable. If nodules continue to grow significantly or change in shape, surgical pathology is still needed to prevent malignant changes. The treatment cycle of Chinese herbal medicine is usually three months, and usually varies from one to several cycles, depending on individual conditions. The choice of surgery (for benign breast nodules): Conventional surgery: incisional excision of the complete nodule. Advantages: complete excision of the lesion. Disadvantages: linear incision marks. Generally acceptable. Minimally invasive surgical approach: small incision, lesions are divided into several strips for excision. Advantages: small incision, aesthetic. Disadvantages: out-of-pocket expenses; some chance of localized hematoma into a mass after surgery.
