What to do if your breasts are lumpy and painful

Breasts are not only a reflection of women's gender, but also play an important role in the breastfeeding process. Therefore, many women pay great attention to breast care in their daily lives. Some women find lumps and pain in their breasts when taking care of their breasts. So what should they do if their breasts are lumpy and painful? Let me tell you what lumps and pains in the breasts are and how to solve them.

Breast lumps that are painful are mostly caused by breast hyperplasia, and some are breast fibroids.

The breast lumps caused by breast hyperplasia will be painful when pressed gently. The lumps are usually at the edge of the breast, usually on one side. As the lumps grow larger, they become cystic. When they move to the edge, there is an obvious sense of fluctuation. It has nothing to do with the menstrual cycle. Breast hyperplasia is generally related to endocrine disorders, mental stress, emotional excitement, staying up late, and lack of sleep.

Breast fibroids can also cause breast lumps, which usually grow on one or both sides of the breast. The surface skin is smooth, the texture is hard, the boundaries are obvious, and they can be pushed. At the same time, the pain is weak. The occurrence of breast fibroids is related to endocrine hormone imbalance, such as relative or absolute increase in estrogen.

If girls who have painful lumps in their breasts cannot confirm whether they have breast hyperplasia or breast fibroids, it is recommended that they go to a regular hospital for a color Doppler ultrasound examination to avoid delaying the treatment. If it is confirmed to be breast hyperplasia, in addition to taking medical medication, you can also massage the breasts or apply hot compresses with hot towels to promote blood circulation, which can effectively relieve pain and help with treatment.

After the editor’s introduction, I hope that all female friends will pay attention if they find lumps and pain in their breasts, and go to a regular hospital for a detailed examination as soon as possible to find out the cause so that the hospital can find the corresponding treatment method. Finally, all expectant mothers must learn to take care of their breasts regularly to ensure breast health.
