What reason is breast lump

First: mammary gland disease is also mammary gland hyperplasia. According to the characteristics of the mass, mammary gland disease often finds multiple nodules of different sizes and unclear boundaries in both breasts at the same time or successively, which can be pushed forward. Mammary gland fibroadenoma, mostly single, feels the boundary clear, the edge neat, the surface smooth, and may move.

Second: breast cyst is a major lobule formed when the breast tissue is aging. The mass is smooth and can move. Intraductal papillomas of the breast often touch a round soft mass under the areola or at the edge of the areola, with a diameter of 0.3-1 cm, and most of them are accompanied by nipple discharge.

Third: mammary duct ectasia, also known as cellular mastitis, often with mass as the first symptom, the edge is not whole, the surface is not smooth, mostly located in the depth of areola, the size is often less than 3 cm. At the beginning of breast tuberculosis, most of them are solitary nodules, gradually forming a mass with unclear boundary, which is easy to adhere to the skin.

matters needing attention

It's easy to diagnose the breast mass. Combined with mammography and breast color Doppler ultrasound, puncture or surgical biopsy should be performed when necessary for cytological or histological diagnosis. Some breast cancer with no palpable mass, with nipple discharge as the first symptom, can be diagnosed by overnight cytology smear or endoscopy.
