Can there be lumps when squeezing a normal breast?
A normal breast should not have any hard lumps when pinched. If hard lumps appear, they may be caused by breast swelling, mastitis, or fibroadenoma of the breast. Most of them are benign tumors, but one should not be negligent and should undergo regular check-ups. For those that grow faster, surgery should be performed promptly to prevent malignant transformation.
A normal breast will not have hard lumps when pinched. Possible reasons are:
1. Breast swelling, pain, and one or several hard lumps are usually minor issues and are not difficult to manage. However, for safety reasons, any abnormal changes in the breasts should be checked by a doctor and undergo examinations to rule out the possibility of breast cancer.
2. Under normal conditions, the chest will have some small glands, and some small hard lumps are within the normal range. If the lump is large and painful when pressed, the possibility of breast hyperplasia is higher, which requires treatment.
1. It is mostly benign fibrous proliferation within the breast. It could also be breast cancer. One should consult a doctor immediately, undergo examinations, and rule out the possibility of breast cancer.
2. Examinations are necessary. There are two commonly used methods for X-ray examination: molybdenum target mammography and dry plate photography. Additionally, breast ultrasound, liquid crystal examination, and infrared thermography can detect high-temperature areas of the lump and blood vessel images.
3. If there is tenderness and a noticeable lump, one should consult a breast surgeon for a thorough examination and communicate fully with the doctor to fully understand the cause of the pain and lump.
4. It is recommended to undergo a color Doppler ultrasound examination to see if it is lobular hyperplasia or may be caused by fluctuations in hormone levels in the body.
