How to determine if a breast nodule is benign

Breast nodules are generally determined to be benign through physical examination, color Doppler ultrasound, and pathological examination. The specific analysis is as follows:

1. Physical Examination

If a patient has breast nodules, a physical examination under medical guidance can help evaluate them. If the nodule feels soft and is not tender, these are typically signs of a benign lesion. Conversely, if the nodule is hard and accompanied by pain, it may indicate a malignant nodule.

2. Color Doppler Ultrasound

When breast nodules are detected, timely hospital visits for color Doppler ultrasound are recommended. Benign nodules usually appear on ultrasound with clear boundaries, regular shape, minimal blood flow, and an anteroposterior-to-transverse diameter ratio less than one. In contrast, features such as irregular borders, abnormal shape, rich vascularity, and a ratio greater than one may suggest malignancy.

3. Pathological Examination

For confirmed breast nodules, a fine-needle aspiration biopsy can be performed under medical supervision to obtain a small tissue sample for pathological examination, which enables accurate determination of whether the nodule is benign or malignant.

In addition, mammographic X-ray (breast钼靶) imaging can also be used to assess the nature of breast nodules. If diagnosed as benign, medications such as Hongjin Xiaojie Capsules, Ruhe Sanjie Tablets, or Xiaojie Capsules may be prescribed under medical supervision. When necessary, surgical removal of the nodule may be considered.
