Breast nodules, a word that has appeared frequently in our lives in recent years, have caused many women to panic. However, how exactly should we deal with breast nodules?
First of all, we need to clarify what a breast nodule is. Breast nodules are lumps that appear in the breast tissue, and they can be cystic, solid, or mixed. Nodules can vary in size, shape, and texture. Some nodules may increase or decrease as the menstrual cycle changes, while others may remain the same.
So, how do breast nodules come about?At present, the cause of the formation of breast nodules is not fully understood, but studies have shown that fluctuations in hormone levels, genetic factors, environmental factors, etc. may be related to the formation of breast nodules. In addition, the occurrence of breast nodules is also related to lifestyle, such as excessive intake of estrogen, late marriage and late childbearing, lack of exercise, etc., which may increase the risk of breast nodules.
How can we detect and diagnose breast nodules early?First of all, we need to do regular breast self-examinations. A monthly self-check-up can be done 7-10 days after the end of menstruation. During the self-examination, it is necessary to observe whether there is any change in the shape, size, and color of the breasts, whether there is a lump in the breasts and armpits, and whether there is discharge from the nipples. If abnormalities are found, you should see a doctor promptly.
In addition, regular breast imaging is also an important means of early detection of breast nodules. At present, breast ultrasound and mammography are commonly used tests. Breast ultrasound can observe the structure and blood flow of breast tissue, and has a high diagnostic accuracy for cystic nodules. Mammography, on the other hand, can observe small changes in the breast, which is important for the detection of early breast cancer. In general, women are advised to have regular mammograms from the age of 40.
When a breast nodule is found, how do you do it?First of all, let's be clear that not all breast nodules are malignant. In fact, most breast nodules are benign. For benign breast nodules, no special ** is generally required, but regular follow-up observation is required. The frequency of follow-up visits depends on the size, morphology, and biology of the nodule. During follow-up, if the nodule is significantly enlarged or other abnormalities appear, you should see a doctor promptly.
For malignant breast nodules, the key is early detection, early detection. Methods include surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, endocrine**, etc. Surgery is the mainstay of malignant nodules in the breast and usually includes lumpectomy and breast cancer. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy are mainly used as an adjuvant after surgery** to destroy residual cancer cells. Endocrine** is mainly used in hormone receptor-positive breast cancer to inhibit tumor growth by inhibiting hormone receptor activity.
In addition to the above-mentioned methods, some habits in life also contribute to the prevention and prevention of breast nodules. First of all, maintain a good lifestyle, regular work and rest, and avoid overwork. Second, maintain a healthy diet with plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits and less greasy and fatty foods. In addition, proper exercise, such as walking, yoga, etc., helps to keep the mammary glands open and reduce the occurrence of nodules.
Finally, we need to maintain a good mindset and avoid excessive tension and anxiety. The occurrence of breast nodules is also related to psychological factors, and long-term mental stress and mood swings may affect the normal function of breast tissue. Therefore, we must learn to relax ourselves and maintain a happy mood, which is of great significance for the prevention and prevention of breast nodules.
In short, breast nodules are a common disease in women, we must face it, understand it, and conduct regular self-examination and imaging examinations to achieve early detection and early detection. At the same time, maintaining a good lifestyle and mentality can help reduce the occurrence of breast nodules. Let's work together to protect breast health.
