What are the differences between the symptoms of breast cancer and fibroids

The fibroids here usually refer to breast fibroadenomas. The differences between breast cancer and breast fibroadenomas are in early manifestations, breast skin conditions, nipple and areola conditions, systemic reactions, lesion metastasis, etc., and it is necessary to go to the hospital for relevant examinations and diagnosis in time. The specific analysis is as follows:

1. Early symptoms: The early symptoms of breast cancer are not obvious, and symptoms such as breast lumps and nipple discharge may occur. Breast fibroadenoma has no obvious symptoms in the early stage, and some patients may feel and touch lumps.

2. Breast skin condition: The skin morphology of breasts of breast cancer patients changes. As the tumor gradually grows, it may cause the skin of the breast to become sunken, like a dimple, and may also be accompanied by symptoms such as redness, swelling, thickening, and hardening. Breast fibroadenoma does not cause serious damage to the skin, and some patients may have symptoms of subcutaneous nodules.

3. Nipple and areola condition: Breast cancer may cause nipple inversion, which may completely retract behind the areola and form local ulcers. Breast fibroadenoma generally does not cause significant changes to the nipple and areola.

4. Systemic reactions: Breast cancer symptoms continue to worsen, which may cause systemic adverse reactions such as loss of appetite, fatigue, and weight loss. Breast fibroadenoma usually does not induce systemic discomfort.

5. Metastasis: Breast cancer may metastasize, including pleural metastasis, bone metastasis, brain metastasis, etc. Breast fibroadenoma does not induce metastasis.

If you are diagnosed with breast cancer, you need to seek medical treatment in time to receive chemotherapy and radiotherapy to improve symptoms. If you are diagnosed with breast fibroadenoma, you can seek medical treatment to receive microwave radiofrequency ablation and minimally invasive excision to improve symptoms. You need to wear loose and comfortable underwear to avoid squeezing.
