What is a solid nodule in the right breast?

I believe many people don’t understand what solid nodules are, how they are caused, and what are the symptoms? Today's article is intended to help you understand what solid nodules are and how they are formed in our body. Solidity and nodule are actually two words, and it may be clearer to understand them separately. A nodule is a new growth or space-occupying body. Solid and cystic are antonyms. Solid means that the contents are not liquid, but are composed of various tissues, that is, solid meat, which can be adipose tissue, fibrous tissue, lymphatic tissue, tumor tissue, etc. Solid nodules in the breast can be understood as sarcomas growing in the breast.

There are many classifications of breast diseases. Most patients with breast diseases will have solid breast nodules, but many people do not understand what solid breast nodules are. Experts say that most solid breast nodules are caused by benign lesions, and patients should pay more attention to the cultivation of eating habits in their lives.

Solid breast nodules are caused by endocrine disorders or imbalance in estrogen secretion in the body. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is caused by irritability, anger, worry, great mental pressure, sentimentality, excessive liver fire, and stagnation of liver and spleen qi. This does not contradict Western medicine. Excessive liver fire will inevitably affect endocrine system, etc.

Experts say that breast nodules are cystic breast hyperplasia, a non-tumor disease. It is common in women of childbearing age and will resolve on its own after menopause.
