[What is a Breast Lump]
A breast lump is a characteristic manifestation of breast lesions in women. A breast lump usually refers to a disease where lumps grow inside due to the different composition of breast tissue. The breast lump is the most common breast condition, and many benign diseases also manifest in the form of breast lumps. Therefore, the most important aspect of identifying breast lumps is distinguishing between benign and malignant ones. Apart from breast cancer being malignant, lumps caused by fibroadenoma of the breast, breast hyperplasia, milk cysts, and breast fat necrosis all belong to the category of benign lumps.
Breast lumps can also be considered as common benign tumors in women. Fibroadenomas of the breast or lobular hyperplasia of the breast may cause hard lumps. Some people experience an increase in lump size and severe pain during menstruation. If there are no signs of growth within a short period, treatment may not be necessary. Breast specialists recommend that it is best to go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis, and conduct a pathological examination to determine the nature of the lump according to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
[Symptoms of Breast Lumps]
To avoid women failing to detect their illness due to lack of understanding of the symptoms, let's take a look at what symptoms breast lumps have.
In clinical practice, the less painful the breast lump, the more attention should be paid to it because painless breast lumps happen to be one of the characteristics of breast cancer. Generally speaking, inflammatory breast lumps are often accompanied by severe breast pain. Locally, there are obvious inflammatory reactions such as redness, swelling, heat, and pain, and the lump can become abscessed and ulcerated. After anti-inflammatory treatment and local drainage, the inflammation subsides and the lump disappears. Hyperplastic breast lumps are often accompanied by premenstrual breast distension and pain, which can ease after menstruation, and the lump can also shrink accordingly. The lump is often multiple, soft in texture, or resilient, and there can be mild to moderate tenderness locally.
Experts remind: Do not overlook the symptom of no sensation in the breast. The less painful and less noticeable the breast lump is, the more frightening it is. Women must pay attention to the health of their breasts in daily life and undergo regular breast examinations.
