What Are the Common Diseases of the Breast?
Disease description:
I’ve been experiencing mild pain in my left breast when pressing on it recently; it’s fine when not touched, but I feel a slight lump. Could you please tell me what common breast conditions there are?

Common breast conditions encountered in daily life include mammary gland hyperplasia, lobular hyperplasia, breast cysts, fibroadenomas, and breast cancer. Among these, mammary gland hyperplasia is a benign condition, and associated pain may correlate with the menstrual cycle; fibroadenomas may be related to estrogen levels; breast cysts commonly occur in lactating women or following cessation of breastfeeding; and breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies in women—regular breast examinations are therefore essential. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
