In fact, breast nodule is a morphological change of breast tissue, a vague diagnostic term or a clinical manifestation. In other words, breast nodules are just a symptom, not a diagnosis of disease. Many breast lesions can have "nodules". Include breast hyperplasia, breast fibroadenoma, plasma cell mastitis and breast cancer. Because the incidence of breast cancer is high, and one symptom of breast cancer is to find nodules in the breast, patients often feel uneasy when touching the word "nodules", but it is not necessary.

There are two main manifestations of breast nodules: 1, hyperplastic nodules, which can be observed and rechecked every six months to pay attention to whether there is growth and blood flow; 2. Breast fibroadenoma: If the tumor is less than 1CM, the boundary is smooth, and there is no blood flow signal prompted by color Doppler ultrasound, it can be observed, but it is not the same as a proliferative nodule, and generally it will not subside by itself.

In addition, the "nodules" of different breast diseases often have their own characteristics, and when we make a diagnosis of the disease, the "nodules" of the breast are only one of the diagnostic basis. In addition, we need to know whether the patient has pain and nipple discharge. And we need to combine B-ultrasound, molybdenum target, extravasation smear, fine needle aspiration cytology and even pathological biopsy to make a definite diagnosis.

Finally, experts from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University remind you! Paying attention is better than ignoring it. If a female friend finds the above symptoms during the self-test, don't panic. You should go to the hospital for diagnosis in time and work out a targeted plan with the doctor.
