How to distinguish between breast hyperplasia and breast cancer?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? How can I distinguish between breast hyperplasia and breast cancer?

Doctor's answer:

Breast hyperplasia generally has relatively obvious symptoms, with pain recurring early, especially premenstrual pain symptoms. The most common symptom of nodular breast cancer is the accidental discovery of a painless lump in the breast. In the early stages, the symptoms are very subtle. If it progresses to the middle or late stages, pain usually indicates advanced stages. As soon as breast pain or lumps are detected, whether or not symptoms are present, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. Early detection allows for targeted and timely treatment.
