To determine whether there are lumps in the breast, the following methods can be used: 1. Self-examination: Performing regular monthly breast self-exams can help detect changes in the breasts. 2. Breast ultrasound: This helps doctors identify internal abnormalities such as cysts or hyperplasia. 3. Mammography (breast X-ray): This reveals the structure and density of breast tissue and aids in diagnosing breast cancer. 4. Breast biopsy: By using a needle to extract tissue from the breast for examination, it can be determined whether malignant tumors are present. If a lump is found in the breast, seek medical attention promptly. Early detection of breast cancer greatly increases the chances of successful treatment. Pay attention to maintaining breast hygiene, avoid breast injuries, and maintain healthy lifestyle habits.
