Breast lumps, accompanied by pain, will generally go to the hospital to see, and no pain in the lump patients have different reactions, some people nervous, immediately seek medical attention, some people do not see a doctor, listen to the advertisements of their own medication, and some people because the lumps “no pain, no itch”, mistakenly thought that “nothing” and do not go to the doctor. Some people do not go to the doctor because the lump is “painless” and mistakenly believe that “nothing”, and more people think to go to the doctor, but ultimately because there is no symptom “reminder”, and delayed, and over time will be forgotten. If the lump is caused by a benign lesion, even if it is forgotten, it will not have serious consequences, but if it is unfortunately a lump formed by breast cancer, this delay will seriously delay the condition and lose the precious time for treatment. Breast cancer when the breast can clearly feel the lump, most of them are already in the middle or late stage, this delay is even worse, prompting the “terminally ill”, so that patients have to pay a heavy price of health and even life. The causes of breast lumps are complex, the vast majority are benign, and only a very small number are malignant, i.e., lumps formed by breast cancer. Whether a breast lump is benign or malignant cannot be distinguished by the patient himself, and the ability of an untrained doctor to judge it is also very low. Even for experienced specialists, diagnosis through breast palpation can only reach 90% accuracy. Therefore, it is necessary to provide more diagnostic information with the help of ultrasound, mammogram, breast MRI and other further examinations, and the final diagnosis depends on pathology and histology.
