What to do for breast pain?

Breast pain is clinically divided into two types: cyclical and non-cyclical. Most patients have cyclical pain, and it often occurs in women before they are in desperate situations. The location of breast pain is often on the upper outer side of the breast. The pain will be aggravated before menstruation. In severe cases, there will be distension and pain, as well as a sense of heaviness and pain when touched. So what kind of examination should be done for breast pain?

First, what examination should be done for breast pain? Ultrasound examination: tiny calcifications in breast masses, "burr" signs on the edges, and an aspect ratio greater than 1 indicate the greatest possibility of cancer. Observing the peak blood flow velocity, average color pixel density, and average blood vessel density of tumors through semi-quantitative methods and color capture technology is very helpful in distinguishing benign from malignant tumors. Penetrating vessels and MVD have higher sensitivity in diagnosing breast cancer.

Second, MRI examination: The display rate of breast cancer is 100% using paramagnetic contrast agent enhancement and then MIP reconstruction. MRS strongly suggests that the bile alkali level in breast cancer tissue is increased, and the water/fat ratio is significantly greater than that of normal tissue, which is an important criterion for diagnosing breast cancer.

Third, CT examination: thin-layer scanning can detect cancer lesions with a diameter of 0.2 cm. The increased parameters of breast cancer are closely related to MVD. Better display of metastatic lymph nodes. X-ray examination: It has the greatest advantage in detecting calcification foci of breast cancer, and digital X-ray photography is helpful for CAD. MWA and CMRP techniques can improve the reliability of breast cancer diagnosis.

Fourth, the pathogenesis of mastalgia is similar to that of primary dysmenorrhea and is quite common. Its characteristics are breast pain without breast lumps, severe and persistent distension and pain, like a needle or knife-like pain, and sometimes dull pain. The pain is of variable location and severity on both sides, and may radiate to the armpits, shoulders, back and upper limbs. In severe cases, the patient cannot get dressed and is afraid to walk. During examination, a thickening or granular feeling may be seen on the upper outer part of the breast, with slight tenderness, but no lumps. Menopausal women may also experience unbearable breast pain, often accompanied by breast warmth and discomfort, which is related to the secretion of large amounts of gonadotropin and autonomic nervous system disorders in their bodies. The treatment of mastalgia is better with Chinese medicine to soothe the liver and relieve pain. In most cases, the pain will be relieved or even disappear after a period of treatment, and some may recur. In a few cases, lumps will develop later, forming breast hyperplasia, so regular check-ups are required.

What kind of examination should be done for breast pain? Infrared thermal imaging: Through the digital quantitative system, the temperature of the breast cancer hot zone is quantitatively analyzed, the temperature difference between the lesion center and the surrounding tissue is calibrated, and the benign or malignant tumor is judged. Minimally invasive imaging: Ultrasound-guided biopsy is performed on tiny lesions that lack imaging features, and 3D CE PDU is used to improve the qualitative nature of ultrasound-imaged CT-guided biopsy.
