Breast lumps can be divided into two types: physiological and pathological, requiring targeted treatment. So, how to treat a breast lump?
1. Abscess
Abscesses are caused by infections within the breast. This type of breast lump can cause pain, and in addition, the skin on the surface of the breast may become hot and red. Some patients may also experience a systemic fever. For its treatment, it can be cured by taking antibiotics or extracting infected tissue through surgery.
2. Fat mass
This type of situation refers to a lump in the fat inside the breast. The tactile sensation of such lumps may be harder, and the epidermis may also turn red. Usually, this type of lump can heal itself.
3. Cystic mass
This type of lump is due to a purulent cyst in the breast. If you massage the lump with your fingers, it will be very smooth. This type of type may be due to hormonal imbalances that regulate menstruation, which may lead to cystic masses. However, women over the age of 50 usually do not develop such lumps, and the treatment for such lumps is also relatively simple. After removing pus, the lump can be eliminated.
4. Adenoma
This type of lump is more common in African women around the age of 20, and it is not considered cancer. It is just that the glandular tissue of the breast is growing larger than normal. If felt with your fingers, you can feel the lump relatively round, hard, and even move left and right.
5. Sebaceous cyst
This type of cyst is formed after the duct of the hair follicle is blocked. Its tactile sensation is roughly the same as that of a cystic mass. Hormonal stimulation or trauma can worsen the situation. If this type of lump does not cause other complications, then treatment is not necessary. If treatment is needed, simply make a small hole in the protruding area and remove the blockage.
6. Intraductal papilloma
It refers to the presence of a tumor within the breast duct. Women of any age group are prone to this condition, and women near menopause may have one breast, while young women may have both breasts.
7. Breast cancer
Usually, hard lumps appear in the breasts, with irregular shapes. And it will adhere to the skin or deep tissues. Early detection is not advisable, and treatment is difficult in the middle to late stages. Generally, methods such as radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and traditional Chinese medicine treatment can be used.
The situation of breast lumps is very complex, some are benign, and some are even caused by cancer. After getting sick, it is necessary to quickly understand the situation and provide targeted treatment.
