The phenomenon of hard lumps and pain in the breast is relatively common in the clinic, and the specific causes include the following aspects: 1. Inflammatory lumps, clinically common chronic mastitis and plasma cell mastitis, hard lumps and pain, through the anti-inflammatory symptomatic treatment or local hot compresses will be able to alleviate the pain. 2. Benign tumors, such as fibroma or breast lipoma, can cause lumps and pain. 3. The more common benign tumors, such as fibroids or lipomas in the breasts, can cause pain in the lumps, which can be seen clearly through ultrasound. 3, the more important issue is that for elderly women with hard lumps in the breasts accompanied by pain, it is not possible to exclude malignant tumors, and clinically there are common breast cancers, and the pain of the lumps is not particularly intense, and they occur in the upper outer quadrant of the breasts, and the chances of their occurrence or degree of cancerous changes are relatively high. Therefore, if there are some symptoms in the breast, try to go to the hospital as early as possible for a systematic and standardized examination, find the appropriate cause and carry out systematic and standardized treatment according to the cause.
