Is normal breast tissue hard?
Under normal conditions, women's breasts have a certain degree of firmness, not entirely soft, so many women's breasts feel slightly hard to touch. However, the firmness of women's breasts is also related to their health status. For example, the breasts may become harder during menstruation, and they may also become harder when there are nodules. Therefore, the situation should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. If the breasts become hard due to pathological factors, further treatment may be required.
Under normal conditions, there are some harder nodules in the breasts, so the breasts are not entirely soft and also include some nodules with a harder texture. Each lobule of the breast is a slightly hard nodule, so there is a difference within the normal breast, which can be felt as slightly hard.
The texture of the breasts is also related to menstruation. During menstruation, women are prone to breast hyperplasia, which makes the breasts harder. The process of hyperplasia feels like the nodules inside the breast become slightly harder and larger when touched on the body surface. Therefore, during normal menstruation, slightly harder nodules can be felt inside the breasts.
In addition, the breast hardness of young women and middle-aged women is also different. When young, women's breasts are resilient and feel slightly hard to touch. However, in middle-aged and elderly women, the breasts feel softer. Women in this age group may experience harder breast texture. It is recommended to consult a doctor, undergo a B-ultrasound examination, and determine the specific situation to exclude the cause of the disease.
