How can breast hyperplasia be diagnosed?

Nowadays, due to various reasons, the number of women suffering from breast hyperplasia is increasing. Many female friends are also aware of this. Especially when they find lumps in their breasts or frequent pain, they will wonder if they have the disease. However, it is impossible to make a diagnosis based solely on subjective feelings. So how should breast hyperplasia be diagnosed specifically?

1. Self-examination: Self-examination should be performed one to two weeks after menstruation. The self-examination method for breast hyperplasia is as follows: View: Stand in front of a mirror with your hands hanging down or your hands on your hips, and carefully observe whether the breasts on both sides are symmetrical in size, and whether there are depressions or eczema on the skin and nipples. Touch: Raise your left hand or put your hands on your waist, use your right hand to check your left breast, press the breast lightly with your fingertips, and feel for lumps. Start from the nipple and check in a circular clockwise direction. Keep your palm flat when touching.

2. B-ultrasound examination: It has become a commonly used examination method in clinical practice due to its advantages such as convenience, economy, non-invasiveness and painlessness. With the development of ultrasonic imaging and the application of high-frequency ultrasound, the resolution of ultrasound has been greatly improved, which can detect tiny lesions in the breast, especially the differentiation between cystic and solid tumors, which is difficult to be replaced by other imaging methods.

3. Mammary gland X-ray examination: Mammary gland X-ray examination is an important means to detect early cancer and microcancer, but it is not necessary to check repeatedly in a short period of time, especially during adolescence, pregnancy and lactation, when the breasts are sensitive to X-rays. Excessive exposure will increase the incidence of breast cancer. Generally, you should have a mammography examination at least once before the age of 30, every 2-3 years between the ages of 30 and 40, and once every 1-2 years after the age of 40. The examination of microcalcification is unmatched by other imaging examinations.
