Breast diseases encompass a wide range of conditions. The milder forms include mastitis or lobular hyperplasia, while more advanced cases involve fibrocystic changes (often referred to as “breast hyperplasia”) or breast nodules. The most serious condition is breast neoplasms, which may be either benign or malignant. Overall, breast diseases tend to progress gradually over time. Therefore, early detection and timely intervention—especially at the earliest, mildest stage—are crucial.
