The difference between breast nodules and lumps

What is the difference between a breast nodule and a lump? In fact, the two are very easy to distinguish. Although breast nodules and breast lumps are similar in nature, there is an obvious difference in size. Breast nodules are smaller, and breast lumps are larger. Generally speaking, breast nodules are an early stage disease. No matter what disease you have, you need to adjust your mood, treat it positively, eat a healthy diet, and seek medical treatment correctly.

First: Breast lumps are the most common breast disease, and many benign diseases also manifest in the form of breast lumps, so the most important thing in identifying breast lumps is to distinguish between benign and malignant. Except for breast cancer which is malignant, the lumps caused by breast fibroadenoma, breast hyperplasia, breast milk cyst, breast fat necrosis, etc. are all benign.

Second: Breast nodules are mainly caused by hormonal imbalance, which is also the main difference from breast lumps. Breast lumps are a common sign of breast disease. Women's breasts are naturally uneven, and the lumps that many women discover themselves are simply areas of normal breast bulge that become more obvious and easier to touch before their period.

Third: The common symptoms of breast nodules are as follows: The clinical manifestations of breast nodules are often breast pain and breast lumps, and some individuals may also have nipple discharge. Breast lumps are mostly benign lesions, such as breast adenosis, breast fibroadenoma, breast cysts, intraductal papilloma, breast duct ectasia and breast tuberculosis. This is the difference between the two.

The vast majority of patients in the outpatient clinic come for treatment with the above two expressions. Whether these symptoms are discovered by the patients themselves or by doctors, they will cause great psychological pressure on the patients. Most breast nodules can be treated through medical history inquiry, examination, explanation, psychological and dietary therapy, and dynamic observation. Individuals with more severe symptoms and pain can be treated with medication. The most important thing in treating breast lumps is to determine whether the lump itself is breast cancer or is associated with breast cancer, that is, to rule out and confirm breast cancer.
