What should I do if I have breast hyperplasia but no lumps?

Every year, there are many women who suffer from breast diseases, so women should pay special attention to their physical condition, especially breasts, and check them regularly. Here, the editor summarizes three types of breast diseases. With this information, it is very convenient for everyone to do a self-examination at home. If you find any illness, you should go to the hospital in time and actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment.

Symptom 1: Breast lumps

1. A single lump in the breast that is not attached to the nipple skin, is painless, has a hard texture, unclear boundaries, low mobility, and grows quickly is a characteristic of early breast cancer. If it continues to develop and is accompanied by nipple inversion, orange peel-like changes in the breast skin, and pain, it is usually in the late stage.

2. Multiple round nodular masses of varying sizes appear in both breasts simultaneously or successively, without adhesions, mostly cystic breast hyperplasia;

3. A single or 2-3 small lumps in the breast with clear boundaries, smooth surface, large mobility, no pain, and slow growth are mostly breast fibroadenomas.

4. If the lump is nodular, hard, adhered to the skin, and has unclear boundaries, it may be breast tuberculosis.

Symptom 2: Nipple discharge

1. Milky white liquid is mostly non-pathological milk retention;

2. Bloody fluid is often seen in intraductal papilloma or papillary carcinoma.

3. Colorless and transparent liquid leaks from the nipple, which is more common in menopausal women or patients with breast hyperplasia;

4. Yellow-green thick purulent fluid, mostly caused by mammary duct ectasia combined with chronic inflammation;

Symptom 3: Breast pain

1. If one breast has intermittent diffuse dull pain, string pain, or localized dull pain, stabbing pain, and it is related to the menstrual cycle and mood changes, breast epithelial hyperplasia should be considered.

2. The pain occurs during lactation, presenting as distending pain or throbbing pain, accompanied by redness, swelling, and heat. The affected area becomes hard, and nipple cracks appear early. This is mostly mastitis.

3. In the late stage of breast cancer, severe breast pain may occur due to the invasion of nerves by the lesions.

The above is the editor’s explanation and analysis of breast diseases. Regarding symptoms such as breast lumps, nipple discharge, and breast pain, women should pay attention to their living habits and eating habits in daily life to prevent breast diseases. If the condition worsens, they must pay attention to it, go to the hospital for examination in time, and pay attention to their physical health.
