Is chest tumor serious?

The chest is a very important part of the female body structure, which directly affects people's figure or other emotions. However, women’s breasts are prone to some problems. For example, the most common tumor is breast fibroadenoma. Many times it is because the breast area of ​​the human body has been severely damaged, causing lumps and then mutated and developed tumors. So in the case of chest tumors, will it cause serious harm to people's bodies?

Women may suffer from breast fibroids, usually due to the following reasons:

1. The production of breast fibroids is related to the stimulation of estrogen: Since the breast tissue of some people is more sensitive to estrogen, the epithelial tissue and fibrous tissue of the breast will proliferate to varying degrees under the stimulation of estrogen.

2. Lifestyle: Diet, radiation, medical treatment, lifestyle, etc. are also one of the causes of breast fibroids. For example, vegetables, fruits, yam, mushrooms, soy products, carrots, green tea, etc. can reduce the risk of disease. If women drink alcohol frequently or increase their total fat intake, especially obese women after menopause, it may also increase the incidence.

3. Genetic inheritance: If there is breast fibroid disease in the first generation of relatives (mother, sisters, etc.), the family may be a high-risk group for the disease. It is now found that if the patient's blood or tissue contains BRCA-1 gene, and if the BRCA-1 gene can also be found in her children, then her children are at a relatively high risk, but this does not mean that the disease is hereditary.

4. Endocrine factors: Breast fibroids are related to reproductive or endocrine factors. The incidence of breast fibroids in the following groups is 1.3-3 times that of the normal population, such as those who had their first menstruation at the age of less than 12 or those who ended their menstruation at the age of more than 55; those who had high estrogen levels after menstruation or took estrogen replacement therapy, those who gave birth to their first child at the age of more than 35 or did not give birth, and did not breastfeed after delivery; those who had a short menstrual cycle, which indicates that estrogen lasts for a long time.

Is breast fibroid serious? Will it affect life?

1. The main symptom of breast fibroids is lumps, which are more common in the upper outer quadrant. Most (about 75%) are single, and some are multiple. The characteristic of breast fibroid lumps is that they are painless solitary lumps, which are mostly discovered accidentally by patients. The lumps are round or oval in shape, with a diameter ranging from 1 to 5 cm. The menstrual cycle has no effect on the size of the tumor, and there is no abnormal nipple discharge, so it is not too serious and can be recovered as long as it is treated.

2. About 17% of cases may develop sarcoma transformation of the fibrous components and severe degeneration of the epithelial components. Moreover, if women suffer from breast fibroids and do not receive effective treatment in time, it will lead to certain changes in the progesterone level in the body.

3. There are lumps on my breasts, which don’t hurt or itch. I’ve been having them for two years because I’m pregnant and breastfeeding. . . Surgery can remove it but it is easy to recur

4. Common fibroadenoma is generally not very serious. This type of breast fibroma is the most common type of tumor. Most tumors are small and grow slowly, causing no major harm to the body. If it is a giant fibroadenoma, it grows very fast and may have sarcoma lesions.
