What does the shape of female breasts mean?

　　Appearance 1 This is the most beautiful expression of breasts. There are 15 to 20 gland lobes arranged in a spoke shape in each breast. Between the gland lobes are skin The vertical fiber bundles are called Cooper's ligaments. Only when the internal structure of the breast is normal, the lymphatic network is unobstructed, and the blood circulation is good, they can show a hemispherical appearance, moderate size, symmetrical, delicate and beautiful.

　　Shape 2 When a lump appears in the breast, be very careful! Slow-growing, painful masses are mostly benign hyperplasia or inflammation; tumors that grow rapidly and have unclear boundaries require immediate examination. Breast hyperplasia Disease accounts for approximately all breast disease More than 75% of breast cancer is the most common type of breast disease, occurring in women of any age after the onset of puberty. of this disease clinical The basic symptoms include breast lumps and breast pain. Some patients have a misunderstanding about breast diseases. They think that they have a "small pimple" on their breasts. It doesn't hurt or itchy, so they don't need to care about it. Only when they feel pain is they sick. In fact, this is wrong.

　　Shape 3 Breasts develop "dimples" when the disease attacks Cooper's ligament, which plays a supporting role. The breasts will shrink and collapse. When the lymphatic circulation is affected, lymphedema causes point-like depressions in the hair follicles of the breast skin, resulting in "orange peel-like" and "dimple-like" changes.

　　This is due to breast cancer In the early stage of the disease, a round or oval painless single small lump appears inside the breast. Later, as the disease progresses, reactive proliferation occurs in the tissue surrounding the tumor. When cancerous tissue infiltrates into the fibrous ligaments that connect glands and skin, it causes the ligaments to shrink. However, this ligament does not grow along with the cancer. As a result, the skin on the surface of the tumor is stretched and depressed, and the superficial skin depression formed is the "dimple sign".

　　It should be emphasized that breast lumps cannot wait until the "dimple sign" appears before seeking medical treatment, because the breast cancer at this time is already in the middle stage. Therefore, the best way to seek medical advice is to seek medical advice when a painless lump appears.

　　(1) Breast pain, tingling or dull pain and discomfort. The pain is severe and cannot be touched or walked. The pain is mainly caused by rapid breast swelling and can radiate to the armpits, chest, shoulders, back, and upper limbs. Some symptoms include nipple pain or itching. The pain fluctuates with changes in mood and menstrual cycle. It often occurs before menstruation or when angry, and worsens when depressed. The pain is significantly reduced or disappears after menstruation.

　　(2) Breast lumps, single or multiple lumps, tend to occur in the upper outer part of the breast. They are in the shape of patches, nodules, granules or cords, and lumps are more common. The boundaries of the lumps are unclear, medium or slightly hard, move without adhesion to the surrounding tissue, and may be tender. The lumps vary in size, ranging from small ones like sand grains to larger ones exceeding 3-4CM. Breast lumps increase in size before menstruation and shrink and become soft after menstruation.

　　(3) Accompanying symptoms may be seen simultaneously Dysmenorrhea , irregular periods before and after menstruation, etc., a few patients' nipples overflow with brown or light yellow liquid.
