Introduction
The mammary gland is a skin-associated gland. Inflammatory nodules, cysts, fibroadenomas, and mammary hyperplasia can easily lead to the formation of nodular lesions in the breast. When symptoms such as breast swelling or galactorrhea occur, nodular lesions should be highly suspected, and timely medical evaluation with breast ultrasound, mammography, and CT scans is necessary. These examinations can reveal nodular pathological changes within the breast based on their findings.
Suspicious breast nodules refer to potential nodular lesions in the breast area. Specific diagnostic procedures such as breast ultrasound and mammography can be performed to confirm the diagnosis based on individual circumstances.
The breast is a skin-associated gland. Inflammatory nodules, cysts, fibroadenomas, or breast hyperplasia may easily lead to the formation of nodular lesions in the breast. When symptoms such as breast swelling or nipple discharge occur, nodular lesions should be highly suspected. It is important to promptly visit a hospital for examinations including breast ultrasound, mammography, and CT scans. These tests can reveal nodular pathological changes within the breast. Further evaluations may be necessary to determine the specific nature of the lesion, and only after a definitive diagnosis can targeted treatment be initiated.
After detection of a breast nodule, attention should be paid to personal hygiene. Avoid rubbing or excessive squeezing of the affected area to prevent worsening of pain.
