Hypoechoic breast nodules

If a woman finds a lump in her breast, it is likely caused by breast nodules. Breast nodules are a common breast disease that occurs more frequently in women and appear in the form of lumps in the early stages of the disease. At that time, you must go to the hospital for diagnosis in time. Ultrasound detection is generally used for diagnosis. So what does it mean if the diagnosis result shows a low-echoic nodule in the breast?

Identification diagnosis

Breast Nodules Description

1. It mostly occurs in women aged 20 to 40 and has a slow course.

2. In the early stage, it is limited to one or several nodular lumps in one part of the breast. It is painless, has unclear boundaries and may adhere to the skin. The lump liquefies to form a cold abscess, which ruptures to form one or several sinus tracts or ulcers. The secretions are thin and accompanied by bean curd-like substances. The skin edge of the ulcer is insidious, and acid-fast bacteria may occasionally be found in smears of secretions.

3. The axillary lymph nodes on the affected side may be swollen.

4. May be accompanied by low fever, night sweats, and rapid erythrocyte sedimentation rate.

Love Tips

1. Maintain a regular life, adjust your mentality, relax, and exercise regularly, but don't let yourself get too tired.

2. Keep your breasts clean, wash them frequently with warm water, and pay attention to changes in breast lumps.

3. You can often eat foods that have the effect of promoting qi and dispersing stagnation, such as kelp, oranges, orange cakes, oysters, etc., and avoid eating raw, cold, spicy and irritating foods.

4. Patients with breast hyperplasia over 40 years old should have an ultrasound examination at least once a year.

Treatment

The treatment of this disease is mainly symptomatic treatment, which can be treated with Chinese medicine or Chinese patent medicine, including soothing the liver and regulating qi, harmonizing Chong and Ren meridians, and correcting ovarian function. For localized cystic breast hyperplasia, a follow-up examination should be conducted within 1 week to 10 days after menstruation. If the lump becomes soft, shrinks or disappears, the patient can be observed and continue with Chinese medicine treatment. If the lump does not regress significantly, or if the local lesion is suspected to be malignant during observation, precise positioning with a molybdenum target and interventional drug superconducting ablation should be used to control the further spread of the breast nodule. If there is atypical epithelial hyperplasia, the lesion site can be accurately located through examination equipment for minimally invasive surgical removal. The positioning system can also be used to locate the lesion and perform superconducting ablation of the breast nodule. If there are high-risk factors such as contralateral breast cancer or a family history of breast cancer, as well as older patients with obvious breast tissue hyperplasia around the mass, a simple mastectomy can be performed. If none of the above conditions are present, interventional drug superconducting ablation of breast nodules can be performed followed by close follow-up.
