Is normal breast tissue soft or hard?
Normally, breast tissue is soft. The main components of the breast are human mammary glands and fat, both of which are soft. Therefore, the normal breast is soft. As age increases, the elasticity of the breast will decrease, and it will feel softer and softer to touch. If the breast becomes hard, it is generally caused by breast diseases, such as breast hyperplasia, and it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.
1. The inside of a normal breast is soft. Because the components inside the breast are mammary glands and fat, which are soft. The inside of the breast is also composed of mammary gland tissue and supporting tissue, which means there are ligaments inside the breast, making the breast appear upright.
2. If the breasts are relatively large and unsupported, they may sag due to their softness. As age increases, the breasts will gradually become less elastic and softer.
3. Due to regular exercise, the muscles behind the breasts may become more developed and feel harder to touch. However, if there are no other abnormal tumor proliferations, the breast tissue is soft.
4. In the case of abnormal breast hyperplasia, the breast tissue may become slightly hard. From a specific shape perspective, breast tissue resembles a large disc-like object that can be pinched by hand. During the onset of breast hyperplasia, the breast tissue becomes hard, forming a lump. When pushing on the breast, this hard lump can be felt clearly.
