      Breast pain is okay breast cancer ? wrong

      breast pain female , in fact 80% suffer from Breast hyperplasia Or mastitis, while breast cancer is rarely diagnosed through pain, and is mostly diagnosed by a doctor by feeling a lump in the breast.

      Warning 1: Breast hyperplasia

      The pain of breast hyperplasia changes regularly with the menstrual cycle: it worsens before menstruation and relieves after menstruation. Others also present with breast lumps, and the size of the hyperplastic lumps will also change periodically with menstruation.

      The lumps of breast hyperplasia are distributed in sheets, lumps or granules, with varying sizes, good mobility, and no adhesion to surrounding tissues. In contrast, malignant breast tumors often show progressive growth, unclear boundaries, poor mobility, and obvious adhesion to surrounding tissues.

      In addition, breast cancer still has characteristic changes in the early stage, such as discharge from the nipple, inversion of the nipple, and tumors in the breast. The surface of the tumor is uneven and the boundary with the surrounding tissue is unclear. skin Changes (such as orange peel changes) and pigmentation, etc.
