Breast pain and lumps are the main clinical manifestations of this disease.

(1) Breast pain: often pain or tingling, may involve one or both sides of the breast, more common on one side, severe pain can not be touched, and even affect daily life and work, pain is caused by breast lumps The main body can also radiate to the affected side of the armpit, chest or shoulder and back; some are characterized by pain or itching of the nipple, breast pain often occurs or aggravates several days before menstruation, pain is significantly reduced or disappeared after menstruation; pain can also be accompanied by emotion Changes and fluctuations, this pain associated with menstrual cycle and mood changes is the main feature of the clinical manifestations of mammary gland hyperplasia.

(2) Breast lumps: The lumps can be found in unilateral or bilateral breasts, single or multiple, occurring in the upper quadrant of the breast, but also in other quadrants. The shape of the mass is lumpy, nodular, and Shape, granules, etc., which are mostly in the form of lumps, the boundaries of the lumps are not obvious, the texture is medium or slightly tough, the activity is good, there is no adhesion to the surrounding tissues, often tender, the size of the lumps is different, and the small ones are miliary Large, the larger can be more than 3 ~ 4cm, the breast lumps also have the characteristics of changes with the menstrual cycle, the mass before the menstruation increases and hardens, the tumor shrinks and softens after menstruation.

Different types and clinical manifestations

(1) Liver qi stagnation: early menstruation or menstrual breast swelling and pain, with the disappearance of the mood, one or both sides can be licked and beaded knots of varying sizes, the mass is mostly mung bean stride knot, or into Thick strips, hard and tough, can be moved according to the deep tissue, the situation is unclear, the menstrual cycle is insufficient, the amount of menstruation is more, chest tightness, heating, depression, upset and irritability.

The specimens are often yellow-white, tough, and non-enveloped. Sometimes there are many scattered small capsules in the cut surface. In fact, it is a cystic dilatation catheter. The capsule wall is mostly smooth, with yellow-green or brown viscous liquid inside. There is a yellow-white cheese-like substance that overflows from the mouth of the tube. If it is a diffuse cystic disease, it is called schimmelbusche disease. A single blue cyst with a large tension is called a blue-top cyst.

The relationship between cystic hyperplasia and breast cancer is still unclear. Epidemiological studies suggest that the chance of breast cancer in patients with cystic hyperplasia is 2 to 4 times higher than that in normal people. Does cystic hyperplasia itself malignant and its ductal epithelial hyperplasia? The degree is related to simple cystic hyperplasia with few malignant changes. If accompanied by epithelial dysplasia, especially severe, the malignant transformation may be larger, and it belongs to precancerous lesions.

Patients often have breast pain on one side or both sides. Light ones such as acupuncture can affect the shoulders, upper limbs or chest and back.

In the middle of the nipple and areola area, the breast tissue can not be grasped by fingers during the examination, otherwise the grasped breast tissue will be mistaken for the mass.

Self-examination:

Starting from the sitting position, any nipple inversion, skin sag, and structural shape are all clues to deep breast cancer. If the patient clapped his hands on the head to contract the chest muscles, the above signs will appear. When the woman is in the sitting position, it is easy to check the collar bone. , under the axillary lymph nodes, and finally need to sit and palpate, use the fingers close together to touch the area under the nipple.

The way of palpation should be in the form of a circle, which is rotated laterally from the nipple. It is especially important to check the breast that extends to the underarm.

Breast examination should first observe the development of the mammary gland, whether the breasts on both sides are symmetrical, whether the size is similar, whether the nipples on both sides are at the same level, whether the nipples have retracted depressions; whether the nipples, areola are erosive, how the skin color of the breasts is, whether or not there is Edema and orange peel-like changes, whether there is inflammatory and other inflammatory manifestations, whether the superficial veins in the breast area are angry.

Diagnosis and differentiation of breast hyperplasia

If the clinical manifestations of patients with mammary gland hyperplasia are not typical or there is no obvious anterior breast pain, only those with breast lumps, especially single unilateral, hard masses, should be differentiated from breast fibroadenomas and breast cancer:

(1) Mammary gland hyperplasia and breast fibroadenoma: Both breast lumps can be seen, single or multiple, and the texture is tough. The breast lumps of mammary gland hyperplasia are mostly bilateral, and the masses are different in size and nodular , patchy or granular, texture is generally soft, can also be hard and tough, occasionally single-sided single-shot, but more with pre-menstrual breast pain, touch pain, and the size of the breast mass can be Cyclical changes occur with menstruation, the age of onset is more than young and middle-aged; breast adenoma of breast fibroadenoma is mostly single-sided, the mass is mostly round or oval, the boundary is clear, the activity is large, the texture is generally Tough, there are many people, but generally no breast pain, or only mild menstrual breast discomfort, no tenderness, the size of the breast mass does not change due to the menstrual cycle, the patient is more than 30 years old, It is most common in 20 to 25 years old. In addition, on the mammography of the breast, breast fibroadenomas often show a circular or oval density uniform shadow and its unique circular transparent halo, which can also be used as a differential diagnosis. An important basis.

(2) Mammary gland hyperplasia and breast cancer: both breast lumps can be seen, but the breast lumps of mammary gland hyperplasia are generally soft, or moderately hard, and the masses are mostly bilateral, varying in size and can be nodular , lumps or granules, activity, no adhesion to the skin and surrounding tissues, the size of the mass often changes with the menstrual cycle and mood changes, and the growth of the mass is slow, occurs in young and middle-aged women; breast lumps of breast cancer The texture is generally hard, some are as hard as stones, most of the lumps are single-sided, the lumps can be round, oval or irregular, can grow to a large extent, have poor mobility, and easily occur with the skin and surrounding tissues.
