For women, who are in a stage of puberty, the biggest physical change is that their breasts begin to develop and secrete some sex hormones. Breast lumps are a common condition for many women during puberty. Once you find a lump or swelling in your breast, don't panic. You can observe it for a few days. If tenderness or obvious lumps occur, you need to go to a regular hospital for examination in time. Breast pain is partly due to the stimulation of the mammary glands by estrogen and progesterone, which causes breast swelling. Sometimes there will be nipple pain and transparent secretions. This situation usually occurs before menstruation and disappears after the end of menstruation. Some people experience irregular swelling and pain in the breast. This type of breast pain does not necessarily mean a breast tumor. Even if a lump can be felt in the breast, it does not necessarily mean breast cancer. Among them, breast fibroadenoma mostly occurs in women around 20 years old. Once the disease occurs, a lump can be felt when touching the breast, but there will be no tenderness.

All in all, for women around twenty years old. Only a scientific treatment solution can better help us solve the problem of breast lumps. Breast lumps can occur at different ages, but breast lumps in adolescence do not form more malignant tumors, so the treatment is relatively simple. As long as it is discovered and treated early, recovery will be early and the pain will be reduced.

How to differentiate breast lumps?

Clinically, the less painful a breast lump is, the more attention it should be paid. Because painless breast lumps happen to be one of the characteristics of breast cancer. Generally speaking, inflammatory breast lumps are often accompanied by severe breast pain, and the local lumps are also accompanied by obvious inflammatory reactions such as redness, swelling, heat, and pain. The lumps may become purulent and ulcerated. After anti-inflammatory treatment and local drainage, the inflammation will subside and the lumps may disappear. Hyperplastic breast lumps are often accompanied by premenstrual breast pain. After menstruation, the pain may be relieved and the lumps may also shrink. The lumps are often multiple, soft or tough, and may be mild to moderate tenderness locally. They can improve to varying degrees after symptomatic drug treatment.

Among them, there are several more detailed methods for diagnosing breast lumps. Friends who are interested can learn more about them.

1. From the morphological point of view: benign changes are mostly regular, round, oval, lump-like, nodular, cord-like, etc., with clear boundaries, most of them are bilateral, with multiple lumps; malignant changes are mostly irregular lumps, with unclear boundaries, and the surface of the lumps is often uneven, and most of them are unilateral.

2. From the texture point of view: good transformation is tough, most of them become hard before the tide comes; malignant transformation is hard like stone and has nothing to do with it.

3. From the perspective of growth rate: benign changes grow slowly, with the course of the disease varying from one to several years, while malignant changes grow rapidly, and may grow to the size of a fist within a few months.

4. In terms of mobility: benign changes have greater mobility and no adhesion with other tissues, such as fibroadenoma, hyperplasia, etc. Malignant changes are often associated with adhesion and have poor mobility.

5. Analysis from the skin surface and nipple: In benign changes, there is no skin change in most cases, and the nipple is not inverted (except congenital inverted nipple). A few patients have secretions on the nipple, and the secretions are mostly water-like or milk-like, such as cystic hyperplasia and plasmacytitis; in malignant changes, there are lumps, orange peel-like and dimple-like changes around the skin, and the nipple is inverted (except congenital inverted nipple). The nipple secretions are mostly bloody, light yellow, or serum-like discharge.
